Summary:

The 89835 zip code is home to a single high school, Wells High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. This school has a diverse student population, with a mix of White, Hispanic, Native American, and other racial backgrounds. While the school's academic performance is slightly above the Elko district average, it falls short of the Nevada state average in 11th-grade ACT/English proficiency.

Wells High School has access to significant resources, with a low student-teacher ratio of 6.5 to 1 and per-student spending of $20,978 in the 2021-2022 school year. However, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past few years, ranging from 39th out of 136 high schools in 2018-2019 to 59th out of 118 high schools in 2017-2018. This suggests that the school's performance may be inconsistent or influenced by factors beyond just academic achievement.

Approximately 37% of students at Wells High School are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that the school serves a population with lower socioeconomic status. This could have implications for the school's academic and resource needs, and may require additional support and interventions to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
