Summary:
Zip code 62692 has two schools in Waverly Elementary School (pre-K–6) and Waverly Junior/Senior High School (grades 7–12), both serving families in Waverly CUSD 6. In 2025–2026, the high school had the higher all-grades ELA proficiency rate, while mathematics results were nearly the same at both schools. The clearest area-wide concern is math: both schools’ results were about 21 points below the state.
Waverly Junior/Senior High School stands out for ELA and graduation: 48% of students were proficient in all-grades ELA, compared with 22% at Waverly Elementary School, a 25-point difference; the state rate was 56%. The high school’s reported graduation rate was 94%, 4 points above the state. In math, however, the schools were nearly level at 18% and 19%, respectively, and both were well below the 40% state result. Elementary had the more favorable attendance result: chronic absenteeism was 12%, versus 25% at the high school and 24% statewide.
