WELLS VILLAGE SCHOOL

Wells Village School is a Title I public elementary school with about 92 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 6th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 8 teachers, Wells Village School has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Wells Village School, located in the rural community of Wells, Vermont, serves as a foundational educational institution for students in preschool through eighth grade. Operating under the umbrella of the Rutland South Supervisory Union (RSSU), the school is committed to fostering a supportive learning environment that emphasizes academic growth, personal development, and community engagement. By maintaining small class sizes, the school provides a personalized approach to education, allowing teachers to address the individual needs and strengths of each student while encouraging a sense of belonging within the close-knit village atmosphere.

Beyond its core academic curriculum, Wells Village School focuses on preparing students to become responsible citizens by integrating character education and community-based learning into their daily experience. The school leverages its Vermont location to offer a curriculum that often includes outdoor exploration and local environmental studies, grounding lessons in the context of the surrounding community.
