Wellington El, Wellington TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Wellington El

Wellington Elementary sits in a small rural school district in the Texas Panhandle. The school serves roughly one third of the district's students across early childhood through fifth grade, and the learning here reflects a community where just over half the enrollment qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch.

State assessment results from this year show a school where reading and math proficiency cluster around the mid to upper-range overall, but with variation by grade and subject that parents should understand. In math across third, fourth, and fifth grades, the school's pass rates sit in the solid-to-moderate band. The school performs noticeably stronger in reading in third and fifth grades compared to fourth grade, where reading proficiency drops notably lower. Science proficiency in fifth grade falls into the below-midpoint category. The data does not provide year-to-year trend information, so a parent cannot see whether performance is rising, stable, or shifting; a parent may want to ask the school directly about progress over time and what supports are in place, especially in reading at the fourth-grade level and science across fifth grade.

The student body is predominantly white with a substantial Hispanic population and small representation of other groups. Economically, the school reflects rural Panhandle demographics: a substantial share of families qualify for the federal lunch program. The enrollment is small, in the low hundreds across all seven grade bands from pre-K through fifth. The school's site is in Wellington, a rural town where housing is quite affordable relative to national benchmarks and where economic conditions are consistent with rural Texas.

The school does not report enrollment rates for English learners or special education. Without those figures, a parent cannot gauge whether the school offers substantial supports in those areas or how those populations are served. The school carries Title I status; whether additional federal resources translate to visible support structures is a question worth asking the administration directly.

Wellington Elementary is a traditional public school with no charter or magnet designation. It is not part of a wider comparison group with other county schools, since Collingsworth County contains only one school district. A parent considering this school should approach it on its own merit and in conversation with school staff, rather than through peer comparison. The testing data available here provides a baseline on academics; conversations about teaching approach, class size, and individual student support would round out a family's understanding of what the school offers.

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.
