Summary:
The city of Waverly, Illinois has only one elementary school, Waverly Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools over the past three years, with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the state averages.
Waverly Elementary School has a relatively small student population of 212 students, with a high percentage (51.42%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite higher per-student spending ($14,468) and a lower student-teacher ratio (12.4) than the state average, the school's academic performance remains poor. Only 27.5% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, and just 15.4% were proficient in Mathematics for the 2024-2025 school year, well below the state averages of 53.1% and 38.5%, respectively.
The data suggests that Waverly Elementary School is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. While the school has access to more resources than the state average, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. Further analysis and comparison with other schools in the region would be necessary to identify the root causes of the school's performance issues and develop targeted strategies for improvement.
