WELLSVILLE MIDDLETOWN R-I

Located at 900 Burlington Road in Wellsville, Missouri, the Wellsville Middletown R-I School District provides a complete public education experience in a rural remote setting. As an active, traditional public school district, Wellsville Middletown R-I operates two instructional facilities serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The district offers a supportive, close-knit environment for its 261 enrolled students, maintaining consistent educational pathways that guide learners through early childhood, elementary grades, middle school, and secondary graduation.

Central to the district's operational strategy is a strong commitment to individualized student support and dedicated staffing. Supported by a total workforce of just over 100 full-time equivalent staff members—including nearly 53 full-time equivalent teachers, 43 support staff, and 5 instructional aides—the district maintains a remarkably low student-to-teacher ratio of approximately five to one. This low ratio allows educators to deliver tailored instruction across small grade cohorts to a balanced student body of 130 female and 131 male students.
