Summary

Wellsville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 509 students in grades PK-5 in Wellsville, NY, which is part of the Wellsville Central School District. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it consistently underperforms compared to the state average on New York State Assessments in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math, with proficiency rates well below the state averages.

In fact, Wellsville Elementary School has a low statewide ranking, placing between 1300-1950 out of 2445 New York elementary schools over the past several years, and has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school also struggles to support certain student subgroups, with rankings for female, male, white, special education, and low socioeconomic status students all in the bottom 25% of New York elementary schools.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Hornell Intermediate School, Canisteo-Greenwood Elementary School, and Cuba-Rushford Elementary School, generally outperform Wellsville Elementary School on state assessments and have higher statewide rankings, despite serving similar demographics. This suggests that the school's high spending per student, ranging from $14,174 to $29,141 over the past few years, may not be effectively translating into strong academic outcomes for all students.
