Wellfleet Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Wellfleet school district, located in Wellfleet, MA with about 112 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families.
