Summary:
The city of Wellington, Kansas is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals a district with significant challenges, particularly at the middle and high school levels, but also highlights the potential for improvement through targeted interventions and resource allocation.
Eisenhower Elementary and Washington Elementary stand out as the top-performing schools in the district, with Eisenhower Elementary having the highest overall test scores and Washington Elementary excelling in Mathematics. However, the middle and high schools in the district, Wellington High School and Wellington Middle School, perform significantly below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.
The district as a whole faces challenges related to socioeconomic factors, with high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients across all schools. Additionally, the variation in spending per student, with the elementary schools receiving less funding than the middle and high schools, may be contributing to the performance gap between the school levels. The data highlights opportunities for the district to focus its efforts on addressing the needs of the middle and high school students and ensuring equitable resource allocation across all schools to improve overall academic performance.
