Summary:
Wellsville Local is a small Ohio district with three schools—two elementary and one junior/senior high—serving about 655 students in grades PK–12, with grades 7–8 housed inside the high school because there is no standalone middle school; the district overall is rated 19th percentile with 1 star. The schools are Wellsville Junior Senior High, Garfield Elementary School, and Daw Elementary School.
Among the three, Daw Elementary School has the strongest current profile: it ranks 39th percentile with 2 stars, has improved from 33rd percentile in 2023–2024, has the lowest chronic absenteeism at 19.9%, and averages 56.4% proficient versus 62.1% statewide on the same 2025–2026 tests. Its 4th grade results are standout—87.5% proficient in both math and English language arts—but 5th and 6th grade math and ELA are generally below state. Wellsville Junior Senior High is the main concern: it ranks 20th percentile with 1 star, down from 2 stars in the prior two years, has the highest absenteeism at 31.1%, and averages 36.5% proficient versus 58.9% statewide, with no 2025–2026 test above state. Its lowest results include 8th grade math at 3.6%, Geometry at 14.3%, 8th grade ELA at 25%, and Algebra I at 36.1%, though American Government, Biology, and English II are comparatively stronger.
Garfield Elementary School serves PK–2 and has no current state test scores, so its old 2003–2005 rank should not be used to judge it today. Its chronic absenteeism is 25.5%, close to the district’s 25.8%, and it has the highest student-teacher ratio at 25.7, more than double Daw Elementary School’s 12.3 and Wellsville Junior Senior High’s 11.1. Spending data is from 2018–2019—about $11,142 to $11,673 per student—so it is dated, and free/reduced lunch data is blank for all schools, so poverty context cannot be assessed from this extract.
