Wellford Academy's test scores are generally lower than the Spartanburg 05 district and state averages, particularly in 4th grade math and science.

Despite the lower test scores, Wellford Academy spends a relatively high amount per student ($15,642) and has a low student-teacher ratio (10.5:1), which could indicate a focus on providing additional resources and support for students.
The racial makeup of Wellford Academy is diverse, with a majority White student population but significant representation from African American, Hispanic, and other minority groups. The school's performance has been relatively consistent over the past few years, with its statewide ranking remaining in the 300s out of around 600-650 elementary schools.
