GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I feel I have received a good education and am ready to move on to College. I am blessed to be receiving and AICE diploma and am currently Dual Enrolled at my local State College. I have played sports and have friends who are athletes, in clubs, and come from diverse ethnic, family and cultural backgrounds. I feel my experience at Wellington High School has prepared me for a diverse world, where all can contribute.

My son has grown tremendously over the last 4 years. The coaches encouraged him to try out for football and weightlifting. I am excited to see what the future holds for him.

I loved this school. Literally the best 4 years of my life. I met amazing students and teachers. When I entered ninth grade I had only intensive classes and I improved so much that in senior year I had 2 honors and 1 ap class. I also finished all my credits so I had 6th and 7th period off!!
