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.

My overall experience at WHS was good. They have a diverse culture of students and faculty. The teachers were engaging and really seemed to be concerned about our education. My guidance counselor for this year was excellent. She was really dedicated in helping me apply to colleges and making sure I was ready to graduate on schedule. I had several great teachers. They were instrumental in preparing me for the next phase of my educational journey. The academic advisors provided us with a plethora of scholarship opportunities and community service resources. I would say the worst part of my high school experience would be the cafeteria food. Enough said. I would like to see WHS add more specialty fields to prepare students for STEM fields.

My overall experience at Wellington High School was very interesting to say the least. Friends come and go and the teachers were very informational. The athletics were extremely fun as I was involved in their football and weightlifting team.

Wellington High School over all is not a bad place to be. It certainly is good in its academics, but I believe where credit should mainly go to should be its fine arts programs. Both the band and chorus in the school have a great and long reputation and never fail to keep their standards high.

This school lacks many communication skills. One simple email for them to reply back to and they never did.

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!!

A Great School rating of 6 out of 10 for Wellington High school what the heck is going on there? Why did the rating dive to 6/10? Who's accountable? Too many enrollments from low income families (currently @45%), just being candid here. We just moved from Palm Beach Gardens for the better school dis...

Horrible, working on getting my son transferred to a different school, hopefully out of the Palm Beach County district altogether
