Summary:
The city of Waverly, Minnesota has a single public elementary school, Humphrey Elementary, which serves grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 278 students. Humphrey Elementary has a predominantly white student population, with 89.21% of students identifying as white. While the school's math proficiency rates are higher than the Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted district and state averages, its reading proficiency rates are lower, suggesting a need to focus on improving reading instruction and support.
Humphrey Elementary's test scores have fluctuated over the past three years, with both math and reading proficiency rates decreasing. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's math proficiency rate was 53.33%, higher than the district (39.79%) and state (45.47%) averages, but its reading proficiency rate was 32.38%, lower than the district (48.6%) and state (49.85%) averages. This declining trend in academic performance is a concern and warrants further investigation.
Additionally, Humphrey Elementary has a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 32.01%, indicating that a significant portion of the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. This may have implications for the school's resource allocation and support services. The school's student-teacher ratio of 13.2 in the 2022-2023 school year is also a factor to consider in understanding the school's performance and the support available to students.
