Summary

Wellington Elementary serves approximately 380 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Woodinville, within the highly rated Northshore School District. Located near several other Northshore elementary schools, it is a smaller school than Kokanee Elementary, Woodmoor Elementary, and Ruby Bridges Elementary. Its 5-star rating and 91st-percentile statewide standing place it among Washington’s stronger elementary schools, although its immediate area includes several exceptionally high-performing schools.

In 2025–2026, Wellington students reached proficiency at rates of 75.68% in English language arts, 69.35% in math, and 72.73% in science. Each result was above the district average and substantially above the Washington average. Wellington ranked 106th out of 1,138 elementary schools, ahead of Maywood Hills Elementary, Woodmoor Elementary, and Woodin Elementary. However, Kokanee Elementary and Hollywood Hill Elementary ranked higher, while Sunrise Elementary has recently performed at an exceptional statewide level.

The school’s results have been consistently strong, but proficiency has gradually declined since 2023–2024 in all three subjects. The clearest improvement opportunity is upper-elementary math: proficiency was 74.60% in third grade but 66.67% in both fourth and fifth grades. Science was solid overall but trailed the strongest nearby schools. Wellington’s student-teacher ratio of 16.8 is somewhat higher than at most nearby Northshore schools, yet its academic results remain stronger than those of several local peers. Subgroup results are also encouraging, including an 87th-percentile statewide ranking for special education students in the latest available year.
