Best Public Schools in Wellsville, NY

Summary:

The city of Wellsville, New York is home to two schools: Wellsville Secondary School, a high school, and Wellsville Elementary School. While Wellsville Central School District has seen some academic successes, particularly at the secondary level, there are also areas of concern, such as racial demographic imbalances and high chronic absenteeism rates.

Wellsville Secondary School has experienced a significant improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 43rd out of 519 New York high schools in 2020-2021 to 454th out of 1,228 in 2022-2023. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are generally higher than the district and state averages, particularly in 7th grade Math and 8th grade Science. However, the school's high dropout rate of 6.1% and concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 29.4% are areas that require attention.

In contrast, Wellsville Elementary School has a demographic makeup that is significantly less diverse than the state average, with a very high percentage of white students (94.81%) and low percentages of minority students. The elementary school's proficiency rates are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts, suggesting a need for targeted interventions to improve academic performance. Additionally, the school's higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (50.21%) compared to the secondary school (35.09%) indicates that the elementary school may be serving a more economically disadvantaged population.
