Summary:
Zip code 66092 has one high school, Wellsville High, serving grades 9–12 and enrolling 278 students, so the list offers a picture of one school rather than a range of local options. Results are mixed: the graduation rate was 96%, compared with 90% statewide, while chronic absenteeism was 13%, versus 18% statewide. In 2025–26, all-grades ELA proficiency was 35% compared with 46% statewide, and math was 25% compared with 41%. The most important academic finding is that mathematics is the school’s largest proficiency gap with the state.
Wellsville High is both the highest- and lowest-ranked school in the local list by default; with no other listed high school, there is no meaningful local comparison. Science is its strongest subject relative to the state: all-grades proficiency was 35%, just 3 points below the state, and 11th-grade proficiency was 35%, 5 points above the state’s 30%. Math remains the clearest concern in the grade-matched results, at 25% for 10th graders versus 37% statewide, a 11-point gap. Tenth-grade ELA was 35%, 6 points below the state’s 41%.
ELA and math results improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26, narrowing but not closing their state gaps. ELA rose from 21% to 35%, a 14-point gain, and math increased from 17% to 25%, an 8-point gain; the gaps narrowed by 13 and 6 points, respectively. SchoolDigger places the school at the 39th percentile in 2025–26, after a dip from the 42nd percentile in 2023–24 to the 9th in 2024–25; it also lists the school at 209th of 340 and gives the Wellsville district 3 stars. The school’s student–teacher ratio is 16.9 and its free/reduced-lunch rate is 30%; these are context measures, not explanations for results.
