However, the majority of schools in the Waynesboro City Public Schools district underperform compared to state averages on state assessments. All schools have high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 87.71% to 92.06%, indicating a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population. Addressing chronic absenteeism, which is reported at 15.7% across all schools, and ensuring equitable access to resources should be key priorities for the district.
