School Overview

Wells Middle sits in the western Riverside area, serving a working-class neighborhood where families are deeply rooted in the community — but the school's academic results tell a tough story, landing near the bottom of California's middle schools in English and Math. Families in this part of Riverside who are weighing their options may want to look closely at enrichment opportunities outside of school, from Riverside's park system to community programs, to help round out the middle school years. For families committed to the area, staying engaged with teachers and administration can make a real difference in navigating the experience at Wells.
