Summary

Wellsville Secondary School is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in Wellsville, New York, with 653 students. The school is part of the Wellsville Central School District, which is ranked 649 out of 874 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Wellsville Secondary School has consistently ranked in the middle-to-lower range of New York high schools, typically between 400-600 out of around 1,200 schools. The school's performance on state assessments is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science lagging behind the state. However, the school performs better on Regents exams, with higher proficiency rates than the state average in subjects like Common Core English Language Arts, Common Core Algebra II, and Global History and Geography. The school's 4-year graduation rate is around 84-92%, slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate is higher than the state average, ranging from 2.2% to 7.6% in recent years.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Cuba-Rushford High School, Alfred-Almond Junior-Senior High School, Jasper-Troupsburg Junior-Senior High School, and Bolivar-Richburg Junior-Senior High School, Wellsville Secondary School generally performs worse on state assessments and Regents exams, and has higher chronic absenteeism rates and lower graduation rates. Despite having a relatively high per-student spending of around $15,000-$28,000, the school's performance does not seem to be commensurate with the level of spending, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to the school's academic outcomes.
