High needs is a state count, not a score. It includes every student who is from a low income household, learning English, or receiving special education services, and counts each one only once. The median across all 395 Massachusetts districts is 46.6 percent.

Academic Performance & Context
Because Wellfleet Elementary is an elementary district, it reports no high school graduation rate; that measure belongs to the Nauset Regional schools. MCAS results, enrollment, and accountability data for the elementary school are published and updated each year by DESE. Because these change annually, this guide links to the live state profile rather than reprinting numbers that quickly go stale.
