Waverly City

The Waverly City school district in Ohio consists of 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the district as a whole faces significant challenges, with all schools performing below the state average and consistently low rankings, a few schools stand out in both positive and negative ways.

Waverly High School has a high 4-year graduation rate of 98.7% and performs well above the state average on American Government and American History end-of-course exams. However, the school struggles with low proficiency rates in other subjects like Biology and Geometry. In contrast, Waverly Junior High School stands out for its exceptional 100% proficiency rate on the Algebra I end-of-course exam, significantly outperforming the district and state averages. Waverly Intermediate School also performs above the district average on several 4th and 5th grade assessments.

However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate at Waverly High School, and a consistent pattern of underperformance across all schools in the Waverly City district, which is ranked 572 out of 839 districts in Ohio and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. The district's racial homogeneity and declining test scores across multiple subjects and grade levels are also areas of concern that require further investigation and targeted interventions.
