Summary:
ZIP code 67152 has one middle school, Wellington Middle School, serving grades 6–8 and enrolling 349 students, so families have no other middle school in this list to compare it with. In 2025–26, its all-grades proficiency rates were 35% in ELA, 27% in math, and 26% in science—about 11, 14, and 12 percentage points below state rates. Its scores were also below those in the Wellington district, by 2 points in ELA, 1 in math, and 3 in science. The most pressing supplied concern is chronic absenteeism: 72% at the school, compared with 34% in the district and 18% statewide.
There is no school-level top or bottom ranking to make locally because Wellington is the only school listed. Its grade-level results do show a notable bright spot and some weaker areas: seventh-grade ELA was 46%, about 2 points above the state rate, while eighth-grade ELA was 26%, 16 points below the state, and eighth-grade math was 21%, 18 points below. Eighth-grade science was also below the state rate, at 26% versus 39%. These differences show why the all-grades figures do not tell the whole story: results vary by grade and subject.
Results changed unevenly from 2024–25 to 2025–26: ELA rose 6 percentage points and math rose 2, while science fell 7. The ELA gap with the state narrowed by 5 points, but the science gap widened by 4; overall, progress was mixed. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking improved from 327th of 362 schools, in the 10th percentile with zero stars, in 2023–24 to 288th of 368, in the 22nd percentile with one star, in 2025–26. The reported student-teacher ratio is 11.8, and the free/reduced-lunch rate is 61%; these describe the school’s context but do not explain its results.
