After doing much research on schools is South Florida, we chose Wellington to be our home of choice based on the school systems. I have a son in Pre-K and a son in 3rd grade. Both of my boys had come from a very excellent school system outside of Florida and have blended in academically and socially very well. I am very pleased with the results. I love the area so much I became a real estate agent so I could help other families find their ideal spot for them and their kids. [email protected] Close Quote
