Wellington

Summary:

The Wellington school district in Kansas serves students from 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the district, with Washington Elementary standing out as the top-performing school, while other schools struggle, particularly in mathematics.

Washington Elementary boasts the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the other Wellington schools and the state averages. It also has the highest student-teacher ratio and spending per student. Eisenhower Elementary and Lincoln Elementary also perform well, with above-average proficiency rates in core subjects. However, the district as a whole struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.5% to 19.7%, significantly above the state average.

The data also reveals high levels of economic disadvantage, with the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch ranging from 51.6% at Wellington High School to 86% at Kennedy Elementary. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and support systems to address the performance gaps and challenges faced by the district's schools.
