Summary:
The city of Wellsville, Missouri is home to two public schools: Wellsville-Middletown High School and Wellsville-Middletown Elementary. Both schools appear to be underperforming compared to the state average, with low statewide rankings, below-average test scores, and high rates of chronic absenteeism.
The high school has a four-year graduation rate of 94.7%, which is a positive, but its statewide ranking has fluctuated between 222nd and 307th out of over 350 Missouri high schools in recent years, with a 2 out of 5 star rating. The elementary school fares even worse, ranking between 707th and 839th out of over 900 Missouri elementary schools, with a 1 out of 5 star rating. Both schools have a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, over 50%, indicating a relatively low-income student population.
Overall, the data suggests that the Wellsville, Missouri school district, which encompasses both the high school and elementary school, is struggling to provide a high-quality education for its students. The lack of any standout or high-performing schools in the area may be a concern for families and the local community. Addressing the root causes of the schools' challenges, such as low test scores and high chronic absenteeism, will be crucial for improving educational outcomes in Wellsville.
