Wellington

Summary:

The Wellington school district in Kansas consists of 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and low-performing schools, with the elementary schools generally outperforming the middle and high school.

Eisenhower Elementary and Washington Elementary stand out as the top-performing schools in the district, consistently ranking among the top 50% of Kansas elementary schools and outperforming the Wellington and Kansas averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency. In contrast, Wellington High School and Wellington Middle School struggle academically, with proficiency rates well below the state averages.

The data also suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a role in the academic achievement of students in the district, as the schools with the highest free and reduced lunch rates, Lincoln Elementary and Kennedy Elementary, tend to have lower academic performance compared to the other elementary schools. Addressing the disparities in academic achievement and understanding the factors that contribute to the success of the top-performing schools could be valuable for improving the overall quality of education in the Wellington school district.
