Summary

Wellington High School is a public high school in Wellington, OH, serving grades 9–12 with 228 students in the Wellington Exempted Village district, a small community school system ranked 529th of 773 Ohio districts (32nd percentile, 2 stars). The school itself ranked 489th of 795 schools in 2025–2026 (38th percentile, 2 stars). That is lower than most nearby high schools, including Keystone High School, Firelands High School, Western Reserve High School, Midview High School, New London High School, Mapleton High School, and Black River High School, though it is slightly above Oberlin High School and well above Elyria High School.

Test scores are uneven. English II is a bright spot: 74.6% proficiency, above Ohio’s 62.7% and the nearby peer average of about 69.6%. Algebra I is the biggest weakness: 38.0%, far below the state’s 61.6% and the nearby average of about 67.5%; among nearby schools, only one was lower. Biology (62.2%) is below the state’s 67.0%, while Geometry (41.7%) is close to the state’s 43.3%. Government and American History are above state averages but below nearby peers. The school had a standout 2023–2024 year at the 62nd percentile with 3 stars, but has since slipped back to 2-star results.

Graduation is a strength at 97.5%, above the nearby peer average of about 96.7%. Chronic absenteeism is a concern at 24.2%, higher than the district’s 19.9% and most nearby schools. The share of students receiving free/reduced lunch rose from 36.69% to 59.21%, and per-student spending ($11,430) is higher than most nearby districts, suggesting resources are not the main barrier. Low-income students fell from the 71st percentile (4 stars) in 2023–2024 to the 25th percentile (1 star) in 2025–2026. Gifted students remain strong at the 74th percentile (4 stars), and special education students reached the 77th percentile (4 stars) in 2024–2025. The highest-leverage areas are Algebra I/math, absenteeism, and reversing the low-income subgroup decline.
