Summary:
ZIP code 67152 has six schools serving elementary through high-school grades: four elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school, with 1,438 students enrolled. Across the schools, average proficiency is below the state average in ELA, math, and science, but above the Wellington district average in all three. The most pronounced divide is in math: results range from 17% to 54% across schools, while the six-school average is 31%—10 points below the state average.
Washington Elementary leads in all-grades ELA and math, with 51% and 54% proficiency; it is 1 point ahead of the next-highest school in ELA and 12 points ahead in math. Eisenhower Elementary leads in science at 45%, 9 points above Washington. At the other end, Wellington High School has the lowest ELA and science results, at 25% and 24%, while Kennedy Elementary has the lowest math result, at 17%. SchoolDigger ranks Washington at the 60th percentile statewide and gives it three stars; Kennedy is at the 14th percentile with one star.
Local average ELA and math results edged up from 2024–25 to 2025–26, but state averages rose more, so the gaps widened; science averages fell locally and statewide, with the local decline slightly larger. Individual results vary: Washington’s ELA rose 11 points while its science score fell 19 points, and all five schools with prior-year science results declined. Grade-level results can also differ from a school’s overall profile: Lincoln’s math result is 24 points above Kennedy’s, despite similar reported free/reduced-lunch rates of 87% and 86%. Context measures tell other parts of the story: Wellington Middle reports chronic absenteeism of 72%, versus 18% statewide, while Wellington High reports a 95% graduation rate, versus 90% statewide. Washington’s student-teacher ratio is 7.9, compared with 15.3 at Eisenhower.
