Summary

Wellington Elementary School in Wellington, FL, is a mid-sized elementary school serving 897 students in grades PK-5 within the Palm Beach district, and it has consistently earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past five years, placing it in the 74th to 76th percentile statewide.

Wellington Elementary stands out for its exceptional math program, with 100% of its 6th graders proficient in the FAST math exam for four consecutive years—far exceeding district and state averages. The school also shows strong science performance, with 72% of 5th graders proficient compared to 60% district-wide. However, there is a notable dip in math proficiency between 3rd and 4th grade, which has persisted for three years. The school operates efficiently, spending $14,969 per student, which is lower than nearby schools like Loxahatchee Groves Elementary ($18,607) and Royal Palm Beach Elementary ($17,680), while achieving stronger results. Chronic absenteeism is moderate at 20.3%, lower than district and state averages but higher than top-performing neighbors like Binks Forest Elementary School (15.6%).

Compared to nearby schools, Wellington Elementary is a reliable, above-average choice but not the highest-performing in the area. Binks Forest Elementary School, just 1.76 miles away, is a 5-star school with a 98th percentile ranking and significantly higher test scores, while Western Academy Charter School is a 4-star, 89th percentile school with lower spending per student. In contrast, Loxahatchee Groves Elementary spends the most per student but ranks in the 49th percentile, highlighting Wellington’s efficiency. The school’s consistent performance and strong math and science programs make it a solid option for families seeking stability in a competitive area.
