GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The teaching at the Wadena Schools is horrible. There are a few that care but most do not. They just want to pass the kids and push them through. I have interacted with many of the students and they have no comprehension of the materials. They get D's in their classes and are still pushed through.
