Summary

Wellington School is a public elementary school in Wellington, Utah, serving 264 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade. It is part of Carbon District and serves a community with moderate economic need: 52.27% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025. The school’s current profile raises important concerns, especially its 34.1% chronic absenteeism rate and a student-teacher ratio of 21.1.

Wellington’s latest academic results are substantially weaker than its earlier performance. In 2025–2026, it ranked 498th out of 563 Utah elementary schools, placing it in the 12th percentile and earning one star. Results were below district and state levels in nearly every subject, with mathematics the clearest weakness: fourth-grade proficiency was 26.1%, compared with 43.8% in Carbon District and 50.4% statewide. Third- and fifth-grade mathematics results were reported as ranges of 10–29% and 20–39%. ELA and science also generally trailed comparison results. However, the decline has not been continuous historically. Wellington ranked in the 72nd percentile in 2022–2023, when several ELA, math, and science results exceeded district and state rates, suggesting that more consistent attendance, staffing, and instruction could support improvement.

Among nearby schools, Castle Heights School is the clearest local benchmark. It ranked in the 60th percentile in 2025–2026, compared with Wellington’s 12th percentile, and had much lower chronic absenteeism at 20.2% and a lower student-teacher ratio of 18.9. Creekview School also outperformed Wellington in many subjects, while Sally Mauro School generally had stronger mathematics and science results. Nearby Huntington School and Cleveland School show that high absenteeism does not automatically determine achievement. Wellington’s most urgent priorities appear to be reducing absences, rebuilding math foundations, and studying effective practices at stronger nearby schools.
