Summary

Wellington High School is a small, rural high school in Wellington, TX, serving 168 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Wellington Independent School District (Isd), which is rated highly statewide.

This school stands out for its exceptional English Language Arts (ELA) performance, with over 72% of students proficient in English I and II reading—well above the state average. It also boasts a near-perfect graduation rate (100% in four of the last five years) and a 0% dropout rate, reflecting a supportive, close-knit environment. However, the school faces challenges in STEM subjects, with Algebra I proficiency at 40.43% and Biology at 62.5%, both below state averages. This creates a notable divide between strong ELA results and weaker math and science scores. Additionally, while the school has historically performed well overall, recent data shows a decline in equity for certain student groups, including English Language Learners and Special Education students, whose proficiency rankings have dropped significantly. The school benefits from a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 8.6:1 and high per-pupil spending, resources that could be leveraged to address these gaps.

There are no other schools within 20 miles of Wellington High School for direct comparison, but its performance trends highlight a school in transition. The overall rank has slipped from the 84th percentile in 2018-2019 to the 57th percentile in 2025-2026, its lowest in a decade. While the school excels in keeping students on track to graduate and in reading skills, it must now focus on improving STEM outcomes and ensuring all student groups receive the support they need to succeed academically.
