Kelly Lane Primary School serves grades PK-2 and feeds into Wells Road Intermediate School, which serves grades 3-5. The schools enroll 353 and 384 students respectively, with nearly identical demographics: free/reduced lunch eligibility is 18.4% at Kelly Lane and 17.5% at Wells Road.
Wells Road Intermediate School is the only school in the area with current test-based rankings, making it the district's academic barometer. Its statewide standing slipped slightly from the 66th percentile to the 60th percentile, where it currently holds a 3-star rating. The school's strongest subject is 5th-grade science, with proficiency rates well above state averages in both recent years. Math is the weakest area, particularly in 4th grade, where proficiency dipped below the state average. Chronic absenteeism is exceptionally low at 8.2%, roughly half the state rate of 16.4%.
Kelly Lane Primary School has no current ranking data because state testing begins in grade 3, but its historical record was very strong, including a 5-star rating and 94th-percentile ranking in 2014-2015. It offers a lower student-teacher ratio (12.3 vs. 14.4) and very low chronic absenteeism at 9.5%, both excellent early-grade conditions. Overall, this is a stable, relatively advantaged elementary system with solid ELA and science performance and strong attendance. The main area for parents to watch is math at Wells Road Intermediate School, where occasional dips below state proficiency suggest room for improvement despite favorable demographics and high attendance.
