Summary

Waverly High is a public high school located in Waverly, Kansas, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 94 students. The school is part of the Lebo-Waverly school district, which is ranked 54 out of 264 districts in Kansas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Waverly High has shown inconsistent performance compared to other high schools in the state, with fluctuations in its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the Lebo-Waverly district and the state of Kansas averages. However, Waverly High has had a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 88.1% to 100% over the past few years, though its dropout rates have also been higher. The school also has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the Lebo-Waverly district.

Waverly High's performance is generally lower than the nearby Lebo High School, which is also part of the Lebo-Waverly district. Other nearby schools, such as West Franklin High School, Burlington High, and Lyndon High, also tend to outperform Waverly High on various metrics. The school's higher spending per student and relatively low student-teacher ratio do not seem to translate into better academic outcomes.
