Wellsville-Middletown High School

Public Grades 6-12

Summary

Wellsville-Middletown High School is a public high school located in Wellsville, Missouri, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 156 students. The school is part of the Wellsville Middletown R-I school district and has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri high schools over the past decade, with a current 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Wellsville-Middletown High School's performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, the school's proficiency rates in MAP/Mathematics for 6th grade (31.7%) and MAP/English Language Arts for 6th and 7th grades (10.6% and 5.3%, respectively) are less than half the state averages. Compared to nearby schools like Mexico High and Van-Far Junior/Senior High, Wellsville-Middletown's test scores are generally lower. However, the school has shown improvement in its four-year graduation rate, increasing from 88.0% in 2022-2023 to 94.7% in 2023-2024, though still slightly below the state average.

One area of concern for Wellsville-Middletown High School is its high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.8% to 22.0% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average and the nearby schools. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 50.64% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. Despite these challenges, the school has seen an increase in per-student spending and a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio compared to the nearby schools, suggesting that the school may need to re-evaluate how it allocates its resources to better support student learning and achievement.
