Wellington J H, Wellington TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Wellington J H

Wellington J H serves sixth through eighth grade in a school of roughly one hundred thirty-five students. The enrollment breaks fairly evenly across the three grades, and just under two-thirds of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The student body is roughly split between White and Hispanic students, with very small numbers of other racial or ethnic groups represented.

On state testing, the school shows uneven but generally mixed performance across subjects and grades. In English language arts, eighth graders perform substantially better than sixth and seventh graders, with eighth-grade proficiency notably above the other grades. Sixth graders show the strongest performance in ELA among the younger grades. Math performance across the three grades hovers around the mid-range, with eighth grade slightly ahead and seventh grade slightly lower. Eighth-grade science and social studies results show the school meeting or approaching basic proficiency thresholds, though science has room for growth. When all proficiency levels are considered together, the school shows that most students reach at least the approaching standard across subjects, while advancement to the highest proficiency tiers is less common, particularly in social studies and science where mastery rates are notably limited.

The school is a regular public school located in Wellington, a small town in Collingsworth County in the Texas Panhandle. Housing values in the zip code are modest, well below state and national medians, and the local housing market has declined modestly in recent years. Economic indicators for the broader region point to stable unemployment and median household income at or near national norms.

No recent major district changes or facility investments were identified through available sources. The district appears to operate quietly without recent bond activity or significant operational shifts. Information on specific programs, staffing depth, course breadth, or extracurricular offerings was not available, so a parent would want to contact the school directly for detail on what enrichment and support services are in place. State testing data for sixth and seventh grade science and social studies, and for all grades in earlier years, were not available, so a fuller picture of trends across the school's full span is not possible from the present data.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
