Summary:
Waverly, Ohio has four public schools serving prekindergarten through 12th grade — two elementary schools, one junior high, and one high school — all in the Waverly City district, all located on Tiger Drive, with a combined enrollment of 1,607 students. The district is rated 586 out of 773 in Ohio, at the 24th percentile with 1 star.
Two schools stand out. Waverly Junior High School reports 100% Algebra I proficiency in 2025–2026, far above the district's 56.4% and the state's 61.6%, and has the lowest chronic absenteeism of the four schools at 15.4% versus the district's 21.9%; it earned 2 stars. Waverly Intermediate School also earned 2 stars, with 5th grade Science (68.5%) and 5th grade Mathematics (61.4%) above state, but 3rd grade Math (42.7%) and 3rd grade ELA (48%) well below state. Waverly High School posts a strong 97.1% graduation rate, but its proficiency is below state in every reported subject — Biology 45.5%, Geometry 30.4%, Algebra I 36.8% — and it has the highest absenteeism at 26.4%; it earned 1 star. Waverly Primary School serves PK–2 and has no test scores or rank history, with absenteeism of 23.6%, a student-teacher ratio of 16.6, and $7,150 per-student spending.
Across the district, absenteeism generally tracks with performance: the junior high has both the lowest absenteeism and the strongest standout result, while the high school has the highest absenteeism and the weakest results. Elementary performance is uneven by grade level, with upper-elementary results stronger than early grades. Spending data is from 2018–2019 and is too old to draw current conclusions, and free/reduced-lunch percentages are blank for all four schools, so economic disadvantage cannot be analyzed here.
