At Wabash City Schools, our commitment to preparing all students for college and/or career success shines through our graduates' achievements. By fostering a culture of inclusion and personalized support, we ensure that every student is empowered to reach their full potential. Our efforts are reflected in our exceptional graduation rates and Early College High School success.
Top District Grad Rates in the County and Beyond
According to the latest data from the Indiana Department of Education, Wabash City Schools boasts a standout graduation rate of 97.5%, outpacing several neighboring districts, including North Miami Community Schools (97.0%), Manchester Community Schools (93.9%), and MSD Wabash County Schools (83.5%). These figures represent all students—whether in traditional classrooms, online learning, or alternative programs.
If you break down the local districts by high school, Wabash High School is second highest, slightly below Northfield. However, Wabash High School's graduating class of 117 was nearly twice the size of Northfield's. Moreover, Wabash High School's unique Early College High School program significantly enhances student outcomes, with 23% of the Class of 2024 completing their first year of college during high school and three students earning associate degrees.
Our success isn’t limited to Wabash County. Wabash City Schools also surpasses notable districts beyond our county, such as Northwest Allen County Schools (95.1%) and Southwest Allen County Schools (93.5%). These results demonstrate that our commitment to individualized attention and innovative education pays dividends for our students and their futures.
Early College High School: A Unique Advantage
Wabash High School stands apart as a certified Early College High School, offering students a valuable opportunity to earn college credit during their high school journey. While other schools often rely on online programs for college courses, Wabash has a more personal approach—our own highly credentialed teachers provide in-person, college-level instruction right in our building.
The impact of this program is transformative. In the Class of 2024, 23% of graduates had already completed their first year of college coursework while still in high school, and three remarkable students earned their associate degrees. This personalized and robust program gives Wabash students a significant advantage, allowing them to save time, money, and make seamless transitions to higher education or career pathways.
Our achievements are the result of teamwork, dedication, and longterm planning. High school counselors, teachers, and administrators collaborate tirelessly to provide personalized graduation plans, a wide array of dual-credit opportunities, and one-on-one support. At Wabash City Schools, every student—whether in traditional or alternative learning settings—receives the attention and resources they need to succeed. Congratulations to our students, families, and staff for making Wabash City Schools a symbol of excellence and a leader in education!
