Summary

Wellington School is an elementary school in Wellington, Utah, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 245 students. It is part of the Carbon District, which is ranked 57 out of 93 school districts in Utah and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of the key concerns at Wellington School is the consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.8% to 34.3% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the state average. This issue is not unique to Wellington, as nearby schools like Bruin Point School, Sally Mauro School, Castle Heights School, and Creekview School also have high chronic absenteeism rates. Additionally, Wellington School's test scores in RISE Mathematics, RISE Science, and RISE English Language Arts are generally lower than the state and district averages.

Another factor that sets Wellington School apart is its higher spending per student, at $11,135 for the 2018-2019 school year, compared to nearby schools like Castle Heights School ($8,317) and Creekview School ($8,481). However, this higher spending has not translated into better student outcomes, as Wellington School's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 159 out of 561 Utah elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 399 out of 547 in 2024-2025, with a corresponding decrease in its SchoolDigger star rating from 4 to 1.
