Summary:
The Waverly Central School District consists of 4 schools serving grades K-12, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district faces several challenges, including declining academic performance, socioeconomic disparities, and a lack of diversity among its predominantly white student population.
Lincoln Street Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and the lowest percentage of free/reduced lunch students at 36.61%. In contrast, Waverly Middle School and Elm Street Elementary School have the lowest proficiency rates on state assessments, with only around 30-40% of students proficient in English Language Arts and Math.
Waverly High School has shown improvement over the years, moving from a 1-star to a 2-star rating, and has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 83%. However, the school also has a high dropout rate of 14.1% and a chronic absenteeism rate of 31.6%. The district's resource allocation and efforts to promote diversity and inclusivity may need to be re-evaluated to address these challenges and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
