We are happy to report that the Wahoo Public School District, Elementary and High School have earned classifications of "Great" while the Middle School received a classification of "EXCELLENT" during the 2024-25 school year.

• Transitions (Four-Year Graduation, Extended Graduation)

• Educational Opportunities & Access (Chronic Absenteeism & Progress Towards EL Proficiency)

2. Teaching, Learning and Serving

• Postsecondary, Career & Civic Ready (In Development)

• Student Achievement and Growth (Individual Score Growth, Non-Proficiency Reduction, Science Proficiency)

• Educator Effectiveness (In Development)
