Wellsville Secondary School stands out as the stronger of the two, ranking 454 out of 1,228 New York high schools and earning a 3-star rating. The school boasts a relatively high graduation rate of 84.3% and outperforms the district and state averages in several Regents exam subjects, including Common Core English Language Arts, Common Core Algebra II, and Geometry.

Both schools serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with free and reduced lunch rates exceeding 40%. However, the elementary school spends more per student ($29,141) compared to the secondary school ($28,102), and both schools maintain relatively low student-teacher ratios, suggesting a focus on individualized attention. While the secondary school's Regents exam performance is a strength, the district as a whole faces challenges in improving overall academic achievement and student outcomes.
