GreatSchools Rating
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. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

Waverly High School is a typical small town school. There is little to no diversity. Waverly High School does not offer AP or advanced courses. However, the staff is very well rounded and are highly sought teachers. We have good athletic programs, and pride ourselves on our strength program.

My favorite thing about Waverly High School is that we are a very small and connected community. Our school has the typical small-town feel where you know most people in and out of school.

I liked the teachers at this school. The teachers that I had through the years are teachers that I believe I could come to at any time with any problem. They will help me through anything and everything.
