The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students.

We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I have mostly enjoyed my four years at Waverly Senior High School. A very large majority of my teachers have taught me thoroughly and some always made sure to go above and beyond my education by writing me multiple letters of recommendations and making sure my personal life was okay. One thing I wish would change is the classes that are offered. I wasn't able to take some classes at Waverly High School so, alternatively, I had to chose a different class or resort to online/duel enrollment classes.

My experience has been good overall. The best part has been meeting people that I can grow with and get to know. The worst part has been the way some teachers abuse rules or policy.

I'm an immigrant who started attending Waverly Community School in 2020. It was very different when I first stepped into the school. Everyone is friendly, they even have a classroom for students who first came into the school with no English and help them blend in with English lessons and activities to boost their confidence. I love it over here at Waverly High School.

Perkins? Really? With all the qualified educational pool out there to pick from and they pick Perkins? It's extremely sad when you have so many high acheiving students in that high school just cringing when they found out that they would have to deal with him again. Thank God for school of choice!
