Summary:
Wellsville Elementary (prekindergarten–5), Wellsville Middle School (6–8), and Wellsville High (9–12) serve 856 students across the Wellsville area. The most important finding is that academic results vary sharply by school: in 2025–2026, the high school was below Kansas in all three reported subjects, while its graduation rate was a strong 96%, compared with 90% statewide.
Wellsville Elementary led the three schools in every reported subject, with 56% proficiency in ELA, 48% in math, and 54% in science. Its rates were 10, 7, and 16 percentage points above Kansas, respectively. Wellsville Middle School fell between the other schools in all three subjects; its 47% in science was 8 points above the state rate, even as its 44% in ELA was slightly below.

Results improved overall in ELA and math, though not in every school or subject. The three-school average rose 6 points in ELA and 5 in math from the previous year, while Kansas increased 1 and 2 points; much of the progress came from Wellsville High, up 14 points in ELA and 8 in math. Science declined at both schools with prior-year figures.
