Summary

Wellington Elementary is a highly-regarded public school serving about 380 students in grades K-5 within the top-ranked Northshore School District in Woodinville, WA.

The school has a strong, decade-long track record of academic excellence, consistently earning top state rankings and outperforming both district and state averages in all subjects. What makes Wellington particularly noteworthy is its ability to achieve these high results while serving a student population that is more economically diverse than some other top local schools like Sunrise Elementary and Kokanee Elementary, and doing so with very efficient spending per student.

While Wellington's performance is consistently strong, the data shows some areas to watch, such as a recent dip in its special education ranking and 3rd-grade scores that are slightly below the district average before students catch up and excel by 5th grade. Compared to other schools in the area, such as Cottage Lake Elementary or Woodmoor Elementary, Wellington stands out for its sustained, cost-effective excellence within the supportive environment of the Northshore School District.
