Summary:
In zip code 79095, there is one middle school, Wellington J H, which serves grades 6 through 8 in the rural community of Wellington, Texas, as part of the Wellington Independent School District (Isd).
Wellington J H is a small school with 128 students and a very low student-teacher ratio of 8.7 to 1, which allows for significant individualized attention. The school consistently ranks in the top 20% of Texas middle schools, with its state rank improving from the 78th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 88th percentile in 2024-2025. Academically, the school excels in reading, with all grades outperforming state averages, and 8th graders achieve strong results in social studies (48.65% proficient vs. 31.69% statewide). A standout achievement is the perfect 100% proficiency rate in Algebra I for advanced 8th graders. However, a major concern is a dramatic drop in 7th-grade math proficiency, which fell from 56.25% in 2024-2025 to just 11.76% in 2025-2026, far below the state average of 29.41%. This sharp decline warrants immediate investigation.
Despite nearly 68% of students being economically disadvantaged, the school achieves above-average results in most subjects, reflecting effective teaching and a supportive environment. The district itself is ranked 153rd out of 951 in Texas, earning a 4-star rating. The school also maintains a 0.0% dropout rate and spends $11,540 per student, above the state average. While 6th and 8th grade math performance is strong, the 7th-grade math anomaly is the critical area needing attention. Overall, Wellington J H is a high-performing school with targeted strengths and a specific challenge to address.
