Summary:
Waverly City has only one middle school, Waverly Junior High School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio middle schools over the past three years, with a performance rating of 2 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.
Waverly Junior High School's test scores are generally below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, particularly in 8th grade Math and Science, where proficiency rates are around 20-25 percentage points below the state average. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 26.4%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Despite these challenges, the school's per-student spending and student-teacher ratio suggest that funding and resources are not the primary drivers of the low performance.
Overall, the data indicates that Waverly Junior High School is a struggling middle school with consistently low performance compared to state benchmarks. Addressing the gaps in test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and other underlying issues will be crucial for improving student outcomes and the overall quality of education in the Waverly City district.
