Summary

Wellborn Elementary School in Anniston, AL, serves 598 students in Pre-K through 6th grade and is part of the Calhoun County district. The school has shown a slight upward trend in its state ranking, moving from the 30th percentile in 2024-2025 to the 34th percentile in 2025-2026, though it still trails many nearby schools.

One of the most notable strengths at Wellborn is English Language Arts, where students consistently outperform their math scores by a wide margin—for example, 5th graders hit 68.6% proficiency in ELA versus 43.02% in math. The school also has a standout 5th grade math program that actually exceeds both district and state averages, a remarkable feat given that other grade levels lag significantly behind. Science performance has also shown promise, with 4th graders nearly matching the state average in 2023-2024. On a positive note, chronic absenteeism has dropped dramatically from 19.5% to 13.5% over two years, a 31% reduction that suggests the school is successfully addressing barriers to attendance. However, math proficiency remains a systemic concern across most grade levels, with 3rd graders at just 16.87% proficiency compared to the district's 50.35%.

When comparing Wellborn to its neighbors, a clear pattern emerges. Higher-performing schools like Alexandria Elementary (80th percentile) and Munford Elementary (76th percentile) serve significantly fewer economically disadvantaged students—around 51-53% free/reduced lunch versus Wellborn's 74.58%. Meanwhile, schools with similar demographics, such as Saks Elementary (26th percentile) and Golden Springs Elementary (10th percentile), perform worse. This suggests Wellborn is delivering reasonable educational value given its student population, though there's clear room for growth in math instruction. The school's student-to-teacher ratio of 17.2:1 is higher than many peers, which may impact the individualized attention students receive in challenging subjects.
