Wyandotte High SchoolKansas City, KS
ResultsAttendance at Wyandotte High School has increased from 73% in 1997-98 to 86% in 2001-02. This increase is coupled with increasing enrollment in a time when the district secondary enrollment is decreasing. The dropout rate also improved, decreasing from 28.8% in 1996-97 to 5.1% in 2001-02. As of February 2004, the rate stood at 4.25%. The graduation rate, which is determined by following a class for its four years of high school, increased from 40% in 1999 to a high of 70% in 2000-01. This includes an increase in the number of special education students graduating, from an average of 1-3 a year in 1996 to an average of 22-23 in 2003. Incidents of violence against students declined 93%, from 155 in 1997-98 to 14 in 2001-02. In the realm of test scores, Wyandotte has had some success moving students out of the bottom quartile or lower performance standards on the Kansas Math and Reading Assessment and the norm-referenced MAT7 Assessment. On the Kansas Math Assessment, the number of students scoring at the "Unsatisfactory Performance" level has decreased by 9% since spring 2000. This decrease is coupled with a 20% increase in the number of students tested. In addition, the overall mean score has continued to increase each of the past two years. On the Kansas Reading Assessment, the gain is even more dramatic, as evidenced in the following chart. There was a 28% decrease in the number of students scoring at the "Unsatisfactory Performance" level from 2001 to 2003. In addition, there was a 20% increase in the number of students scoring at or above "Proficient." This was coupled with a 31% increase in the number of students tested. |
