Wellington Elementary School had the highest enrollment among Collingsworth County schools, welcoming 239 students during the 2022-23 academic year, according to the Texas Education Agency report.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2022-23 school year, 50.6% of the students were girls, and 49.4% were boys.

Data also showed that the majority of students were white, representing 57.3% of the Wellington Elementary School total enrollment.

Among the three schools in Collingsworth County, Wellington High School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 156 students, while Wellington Junior High School welcomed 135 students and ranked third in the 2022-23 school year.

Wellington Elementary School is a part of Wellington ISD, which roughly covers schools within Collingsworth County with its main office in Wellington.

In the previous school year, Wellington Elementary School also had the highest number of students among Collingsworth County schools.

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.
