Summary:
The Waverly School District 14-5 in South Dakota has only one middle school, Waverly-South Shore Middle School - 03, which serves grades 6-8 with an enrollment of 57 students. This small school has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom third of South Dakota middle schools for the past three years and earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Waverly-South Shore Middle School - 03 struggles academically, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science significantly below the state averages. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 12.7% is also concerning and may be a contributing factor to the low academic performance. Despite relatively high spending per student of $11,311, the school has not been able to translate this into better educational outcomes for its students.
Overall, the data suggests that Waverly-South Shore Middle School - 03 is a struggling school that needs to address its academic performance, attendance issues, and overall educational quality to better serve its students and the Waverly School District 14-5 community. With only one middle school in the district, the district leadership should prioritize improving the quality of education at this school to ensure all students in the area have access to a high-quality middle school experience.
