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.

What's good is all the opportunities. What's bad is that our administration doesn't care about us. We have textbooks that are older than me. Meanwhile the bigger schools in our district complain if their textbooks are two years old.

While going to wells high I was never bullied I never felt like there was no question I couldn't ask. All my teacher went above and beyond to help me concore my goals and even now almost years years out of school I told some of my favorite teachers I'm going back to college and they offered to help me as much as possible if needed.

Wells High School is small, close knit, very active in extra-curricular activities, and friendly. It has some wonderful teachers who are strong in the community but it also has a lot of teacher turn over. The education could definitely be improved.
