Best Public Schools in Wellsville, MO

Summary:

The city of Wellsville, Missouri is home to two public schools: Wellsville-Middletown High School and Wellsville-Middletown Elementary, both part of the Wellsville Middletown R-I school district. Based on the available data, these schools appear to be underperforming compared to state averages on several key metrics.

The high school is ranked 222 out of 352 Missouri high schools, with a 2 out of 5 SchoolDigger star rating. Its four-year graduation rate is 94.7%, and it has a 13.8% chronic absenteeism rate. The elementary school fares even worse, ranking 707 out of 906 Missouri elementary schools with a 1 out of 5 SchoolDigger star rating and a 13.8% chronic absenteeism rate. Both schools have significantly below-average test scores, with only 10.6% and 5.3% of 6th and 7th graders, respectively, proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 39.3% and 39.4%.

The schools also serve a relatively low-income student population, with over 50% of students at both the high school and elementary school qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the low student-teacher ratios of 9.6 and 11.5 students per teacher, respectively, the schools are struggling to improve academic outcomes. Overall, the data suggests that the Wellsville-Middletown schools face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to their students, and further investigation into the root causes and potential strategies for improvement would be warranted.
