Summary:
The city of Waverly, Illinois is home to two schools: Waverly Elementary School and Waverly Junior/Senior High School, both part of the Waverly CUSD 6 district. While the junior/senior high school has a higher statewide ranking and graduation rate, both schools face challenges with low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and a large percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Waverly Junior/Senior High School stands out with a higher statewide ranking of 389 out of 698 Illinois high schools and a 4-year graduation rate of 89.0%, which is above the state average. However, both schools struggle with low proficiency rates on state assessments, particularly in Mathematics. The district as a whole is ranked 735 out of 811 districts in Illinois and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating a need for significant improvement.
The high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, 51.42% at Waverly Elementary School and 55.07% at Waverly Junior/Senior High School, suggest that the schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged population. This socioeconomic factor likely contributes to the academic challenges faced by the schools and should be considered when developing strategies for improvement.
