Wellington Elementary School had the highest enrollment among Collingsworth County schools, welcoming 255 students during the 2021-22 academic year, according to the Texas Education Agency report.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2021-22 school year, 51.4% of them were boys, and 48.6% were girls.

Data also showed that the majority of students were white, representing 54.9% of the Wellington Elementary School total enrollment.

Among the three schools in Collingsworth County, Wellington High School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 152 students, while Wellington Junior High School welcomed 136 students and ranked third in the 2021-22 school year.

Texas is found to be one of the least educated states in the U.S. A study from WalletHub ranked Texas 41st out of 50 states in terms of the quality of the educational system and how successful students were.

More than 5.4 million students are enrolled in public schools across Texas. Nearly one million of them live in rural areas where options for local public schools are few and far between.

The Texas education system is currently torn between public schools and taxpayer-funded private schools.

Critics argue that private schools use funds that should go to the public school system, while private school advocates claim they’re offering better education for more Texas students.
