Summary:
Wellston, Oklahoma has only one middle school, Wellston Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has fluctuated over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 112th out of 407 Oklahoma middle schools in 2020-2021 to 205th out of 369 in 2024-2025.
While Wellston Middle School's Science proficiency rates are higher than the state average, its English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates are significantly lower, suggesting the school may be struggling to provide consistent academic support across different subject areas. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (62.96% in 2023-2024), indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the school's challenges, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14:1 and higher per-student spending of $9,836 for the 2018-2019 school year. However, these resources do not seem to be translating into higher academic proficiency rates across all subject areas, and the school's overall performance has declined over time. Wellston may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and instructional strategies to better support student learning and achievement.
