Wellsville Elementary School

Summary:

Wellsville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Wellsville, New York, with 482 students. The school is part of the Wellsville Central School District, which is ranked 560 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite spending $15,787 per student, which is higher than the state average, and maintaining a relatively low student-teacher ratio of around 10:1, Wellsville Elementary School has consistently struggled academically. The school's test scores are generally below the state averages across 3rd-5th grade ELA and Math assessments, and it has a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 50-57% over the past few years. This suggests the school serves a lower socioeconomic population and is underperforming compared to its peers, such as Canisteo-Greenwood Elementary School and Cuba-Rushford Elementary School, which have stronger test scores and ratings.

The challenges at Wellsville Elementary School appear to be systemic, impacting multiple student subgroups and persisting despite additional resources. The school has been a long-standing low-performing school, consistently ranking in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, and its 2-star rating from SchoolDigger indicates it is struggling to meet state standards. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive review of the school's instructional practices, curriculum, and resource allocation to drive meaningful improvements.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
