Summary

Wellborn Elementary School is a public elementary school in Anniston, Alabama, serving 579 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Calhoun County School District. The school consistently underperforms compared to county and state averages on standardized tests, with only 29.21% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 40.98% in Calhoun County and 45.47% statewide. Wellborn Elementary also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 11.1% to 19.2% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

Wellborn Elementary serves a student population that is predominantly from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 83.07% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. This high-need student population may contribute to the school's academic challenges. Additionally, Wellborn's performance on standardized tests varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking in the bottom 25% of Alabama elementary schools for White students, but in the top 50% for Hispanic students.

Compared to nearby schools like Alexandria Elementary and Weaver Elementary, both also part of the Calhoun County School District, Wellborn Elementary's academic performance is significantly lower. These nearby schools consistently outperform Wellborn on standardized tests and have higher rankings from SchoolDigger. Addressing Wellborn's challenges will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed.
