Summary:
The 63384 zip code is home to two schools, Wellsville-Middletown High School and Wellsville-Middletown Elementary, both of which are part of the Wellsville Middletown R-I district. While the schools serve different grade levels, they face similar challenges, with both performing below state averages in key metrics such as test scores and overall school rankings.
Wellsville-Middletown High School is ranked 222 out of 352 Missouri high schools and has a 2-star rating, while Wellsville-Middletown Elementary is ranked 803 out of 908 Missouri elementary schools and has a 1-star rating. Both schools struggle with low proficiency rates in core subjects, with Wellsville-Middletown High School's Algebra I and Biology I proficiency rates significantly below the state averages, and Wellsville-Middletown Elementary's 3rd-grade Math and 5th-grade English Language Arts proficiency rates also well below the state averages.
Socioeconomic factors may play a role in the schools' performance, as both have high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients and relatively low spending per student compared to the state average. Additionally, the schools' student populations are significantly less diverse than the state as a whole, with over 90% of students identifying as white. While the schools have lower-than-average student-teacher ratios, the data suggests that the resources may not be effectively utilized to support student learning, as evidenced by the declining performance over the past few years.
