Summary

Greenview Alternative School is a public high school located in Waverly, Iowa, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 37 students. The school is part of the Waverly-Shell Rock Community School District, which is ranked 101 out of 313 districts in Iowa and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Greenview Alternative School has experienced a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 1st out of 351 Iowa high schools in 2012-2013 (with a 5-star rating) to 336th out of 340 in 2024-2025 (with a 0-star rating). The school's four-year graduation rates have also fluctuated, ranging from a high of 94.0% in 2022-2023 to a low of 36.8% in 2023-2024, which are generally lower than the Waverly-Shell Rock Community School District's average of around 88.3% in recent years. Additionally, Greenview Alternative School has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the district, ranging from 15.0% to 23.4% in recent years, suggesting that student attendance is a significant challenge.

Academically, Greenview Alternative School's performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in ISASP (Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress) English Language Arts and Mathematics, is significantly lower than the Waverly-Shell Rock Community School District and the state of Iowa averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 10% of Greenview Alternative School's 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 75.1% for the district and 69.3% for the state. This significant gap in academic achievement between Greenview Alternative School and nearby high-performing schools, such as Denver Senior High School and Clarksville High School, suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address the school's challenges and improve student outcomes.
