Summary:
The Waverly Junior/Senior High School is the sole high school serving the Waverly CUSD 6 school district in Illinois. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it has consistently underperformed compared to state averages across key metrics such as graduation rate, dropout rate, chronic absenteeism, and standardized test scores.
Waverly Junior/Senior High School's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, falling from 389 out of 698 schools in 2024-2025 to 530 out of 699 schools in 2022-2023. The school is rated only 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing below average compared to other schools in Illinois. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (55.07%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the school's challenges, the data suggests that addressing the issues of academic performance and student engagement will likely require a comprehensive approach that addresses both academic and non-academic factors impacting student success. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio could be an asset in providing more individualized attention and support to students, but the high chronic absenteeism rate and low test scores indicate that additional interventions may be necessary to improve student outcomes.
