GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I've been going to Wellborn since I was in the seventh grade. it has been an overall slightly good experience for me. I've met some good people, made some new friends, and learned some knew things. i wouldn't say I felt like I was right along with everyone but it was a very good school. wouldn't call it my place of home, but its a home for everyone else.

wellborn is a good school! the community is like family. the small-town atmosphere is almost cinematic. the athletics and the education aren't the best but if you want to feel like your the main character in an 80's film this place is perfect for you.

I have attended Wellborn School K-12 and it is really like my second home. I have faced some adversity and health issues; the faculty has been amazing while helping me academically, and emotionally. I watched my school grow, update, and become more beautiful every year. Wellborn school offered all subject matter required and desired, and I will miss my alma mater tremendously.
