Summary

Wellman-Union School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in Wellman, Texas, with 279 students and part of the Wellman-Union Consolidated Independent School District. This school has consistently maintained a 100% four-year graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, significantly outperforming state averages.

Wellman-Union School's academic performance is also impressive, with STAAR test scores generally higher than the state and district averages, particularly in 8th grade reading (100% proficient), 8th grade math (91.67% proficient), and Biology EOC (72.73% proficient). Additionally, the school has a lower percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients (53.05%) compared to nearby Dawson School (78.03%) and Seagraves Schools (83.59%), suggesting a relatively more affluent student population. Wellman-Union School also spends more per student ($12,449 in 2020-2021) compared to the state average, which could contribute to its strong academic performance.

While Wellman-Union School's overall performance is excellent, there are a few areas where the school could potentially improve, such as 3rd grade reading and math, 6th grade math, and 8th grade social studies, where the school's scores are below the state average. However, the school's consistent academic performance, focus on student success, and higher spending per student make it a standout institution in the region, outperforming nearby schools like Dawson School, Seagraves Schools, and Loop School.
