Wellington School

Summary:

Wellington School is an elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Carbon District of Utah, with a total enrollment of 267 students for the 2022-2023 school year.

Wellington School consistently outperforms the Carbon District and the state of Utah in academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 59.5% of 4th-grade students at Wellington School were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 45.9% in the Carbon District and 44% statewide. The school has also shown a steady improvement in its statewide ranking among Utah elementary schools, rising from 315 out of 526 schools in 2016-2017 to 159 out of 561 schools in 2022-2023.

When compared to other nearby schools in the Carbon District, such as Castle Heights School and Creekview School, Wellington School stands out as a relatively high-performing school, with higher proficiency rates in several subject areas and a higher overall statewide ranking. Additionally, the school's relatively high spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio suggest that it may have access to more resources and funding compared to some of the other schools in the area, which could be a factor in its academic success.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
