Summary

Wellston Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Wellston, Oklahoma, with 108 students. The school is part of the Wellston School District, which is ranked 97 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Wellston Middle School has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 52.38% to 62.96% over the past few years, the school's academic performance is a concern. Proficiency rates in both mathematics and English Language Arts are significantly lower than the state averages, with only 17% of students proficient in math and 20% proficient in ELA, compared to state averages of 26% in both subjects. Additionally, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.1% in 2024-2025 to 19.0% in 2024-2025, which is much higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby middle schools, such as Choctaw Middle School and Jones Middle School, Wellston Middle School's performance is generally lower, with those schools having higher proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. Despite spending more per student ($9,836) than some nearby schools, such as Perkins-Tryon Middle School ($7,701 per student) and Harrah Middle School ($6,553 per student), Wellston Middle School's academic outcomes have not improved, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to help students succeed.
