Wellsville Secondary School had the highest enrollment among Allegany County schools, welcoming 652 students during the 2023-24 academic year, according to the New York State Education Department.

Data also showed that most of the students were white, representing 94.8% of the Wellsville Secondary School's total enrollment.

Among the 18 schools in Allegany County, Fillmore Central School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 608 students, while Genesee Valley Central School welcomed 544 students and came in third in the 2023-24 school year.

Wellsville Secondary School is part of Wellsville Central School District, which roughly covers two schools within Allegany County and has a main office in Wellsville.

In the previous school year, Fillmore Central School had the highest number of students among Allegany County schools.

In 2022, New York had roughly one teacher for every 12 students, which is lower than the national average of one teacher for every 16 students. A lower student-to-teacher ratio has been found to improve students' school performance.

New York State has proposed a $45.8 billion education budget for the upcoming fiscal year. This represents a $1.5 billion increase compared to the previous year. The most significant portion of this budget is allocated to schools, with a total of $35.3 billion proposed. The new budget aims at increasing funds for Foundation Aid by $507 million, mainly driven by rising inflation in the U.S.
