Summary:
The Wellton Elementary District in Arizona has only one school, Wellton Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 156 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority of Hispanic students, but its academic performance lags behind state averages across most subject areas.
Wellton Elementary School's strongest academic area is 7th grade English Language Arts, where 84% of students scored proficient or better, significantly outperforming the state average of 42%. However, the school struggles most in 5th and 6th grade math, with only 5% and 11% of students, respectively, scoring proficient or better, compared to state averages of 36% and 31%. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 78.21% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may contribute to these academic challenges.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.7, it has not translated into higher academic achievement across the board. The data suggests that Wellton Elementary School would benefit from targeted interventions and support, particularly in the areas of math and science, to address the disparities in student performance and improve overall outcomes for the community.
