While the Waynesboro Elementary School has a low 1-star rating, it performs better than the district and state averages on some key metrics, such as proficiency rates in English Language Arts. However, all schools in the district struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.9% to 18.9%, which likely contributes to the academic challenges faced by students. Addressing these attendance issues and improving outcomes at the elementary and middle school levels could be key focus areas for the district.
