Elementary Schools in Wellsville Local

The Wellsville Local school district in Ohio is home to two elementary schools, Garfield Elementary School and Daw Elementary School, both serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. While the schools share similarities in their student demographics, they exhibit notable differences in their academic performance and other key metrics.

Daw Elementary stands out as the stronger performer, with its students consistently outpacing the district and state averages on standardized tests, particularly in 5th grade science, 3rd grade math, and 5th grade English language arts. This academic success may be attributed to Daw's lower student-teacher ratio of 11.5, compared to Garfield's higher ratio of 20.1. However, Garfield Elementary faces a concerning issue with its high chronic absenteeism rate of 38.1%, significantly higher than Daw's 24.5%.

While both schools have a majority white student population, Garfield has a higher percentage of students identifying as two or more races. In terms of spending, Garfield Elementary spends slightly more per student ($11,673) than Daw Elementary ($11,142). Overall, the Wellsville Local school district appears to be underperforming compared to the state, with both elementary schools ranking in the bottom half of Ohio's elementary schools according to the SchoolDigger rankings.
