Wellsville

Summary:

The Wellsville school district in Kansas consists of three schools: Wellsville Elementary, Wellsville High, and Wellsville Middle School. The district as a whole is ranked 181 out of 264 districts in Kansas and has a 2-star rating.

Wellsville Elementary stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, consistently ranking in the top 50% of Kansas elementary schools and outperforming the state and district averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. In contrast, Wellsville High and Wellsville Middle School struggle to meet state averages in these core academic areas, particularly in the higher grade levels.

The data also reveals that the Wellsville school district faces challenges related to economic disadvantage, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 26% to 34% across the three schools. This may be a contributing factor to the academic performance challenges at the secondary schools. Additionally, the variation in per-student spending, with the high school receiving the highest funding, could be an area for further investigation to understand how resources are allocated and whether they are being used effectively to support student outcomes.
