Summary

Wellington Landings Middle is a public magnet middle school in Wellington, Florida, serving 1,221 students in grades 6-8. The school consistently ranks among the top 20% of middle schools in the state, with strong academic performance across various subjects. In the 2024-2025 school year, Wellington Landings Middle had significantly higher proficiency rates compared to the Palm Beach district and Florida state averages in Algebra 1, Geometry, Civics, 8th grade Science, and 6th-8th grade ELA and Math.

However, the school has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 11.1% in 2020-2021 to 31.4% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average. Socioeconomic factors at the school, such as the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, have decreased from 40.09% in 2021-2022 to 26.04% in 2023-2024, indicating a relatively lower proportion of economically disadvantaged students compared to the district. The school's per-student spending has also increased from $9,756 in 2020-2021 to $11,630 in 2023-2024, which is higher than the district average.

Compared to nearby middle schools, such as Somerset Academy Canyons Middle School, Jeaga Middle School, and L C Swain Middle School, Wellington Landings Middle outperforms most in academic metrics, but the school's chronic absenteeism rate is on par with the regional trend. Overall, Wellington Landings Middle is a high-performing middle school that has maintained strong academic outcomes, but the increase in chronic absenteeism is an area that requires attention and targeted interventions.

Wellington Landings Middle School overall is just an average school unless you're taking gifted/honors classes. From personal experience, I have noticed that kids who take gifted classes have a lot better attitude and have better judgement. This school educationally wise is great! If you want your child to do well and go to a good high school for example Suncoast I would suggest sending your child here. I have been here for years and matured into a well rounded young adult. However, I have seen a handful amount of students yearly getting bullied and teased. The school does a terrible job at keeping Landings a "bully-free campus" I believe that they should fix this problem. This school is also awfully strict and treats their students as if we are 8 years old even though majority of us are teenagers. In the cafeteria, the administrators watch over us like hawks. We have to sit at assigned tables. I find this extremely unfair because lunch is our only "break" from school. School is approximately 7 hours and lunch is only 30 minutes, I don't quite understand why students can't sit where they want. Another thing about this school is the bathroom policy, also known as the 15/15 rule. You cannot use the restroom 15 minutes during class and 15 minutes before the bell rings. As a young woman, I find that extremely unfair. Girls and boys should use the restroom whenever it is needed. The bathrooms are also extremely dirty and always smells terrible. This middle school is dead broke. Landings isn't very welcoming at all. The front office woman Mrs. Skinner always complains about her job when parents around. She always whines about how she has a lot to do. Not to mention the fact that teachers complain to us students about how low their job salary which not to mention is completely unprofessional. To conclude, don't send your child to WLMS unless they're flexible, independent and in advanced classes. Close Quote
