Summary:
The Waverly School District 14-5 in South Dakota has one elementary school, Waverly-South Shore Elementary - 02, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 113 students. While the school's performance has declined in recent years, it continues to face challenges in academic achievement and student engagement.
Waverly-South Shore Elementary - 02 is currently ranked 217 out of 300 South Dakota elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (30.65%) and Mathematics (29.03%) are significantly below the state averages of 50.93% and 43.49%, respectively. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 20.2% is a concern, as it may be contributing to the low academic performance.
Despite these challenges, the school serves a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families, with a free and reduced-price lunch rate of 44.25%. However, the school's per-student spending of $14,784 and a low student-teacher ratio of 10.1 to 1 suggest a focus on resource allocation. Moving forward, the school and the Waverly School District 14-5 will need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve academic outcomes, address chronic absenteeism, and support the unique needs of the student population.
