"We moved to this area 3 months ago. I went to the school after we moved to register the kids for the upcoming school year & asked if I was able to tour the school before I decided to switch them to Wellington & explained my kids were nervous to switch so I thought seeing it might makw them feel better. The "ladies" at the front would not allow me to tour the school. They said to try in early August when they had more time......They said they can't have people going thru the school, no exceptions! wow"

"Wellington is a wonderful school! I am beyond thrilled with the education that my son is receiving here. The teachers are wonderful, the academic standards are high and there are so many ways to volunteer and be involved with your child's class and with the school in general. I personally like that the school has security precautions and that a stranger off the street cannot gain access to our children."

"Wellington is an amazing elementary school. The level of education my son received was amazing. In general, students from Wellington did far better at middle school compared to students from other local elementary schools. I can say enough about how amazing the teachers are at Wellington. There are also quite a few extra curricular activities after school. This is by far the best elementary around!"

"We have been at Wellington for 5 years and Love it. I am really shocked at the previous submission. A school as large as Wellington(1000 students) has to maintain strucuture. If you have too much of an open door policy...who knows who you would find walking in the doors(hence the security doors). You must not have been in the disitrcit long enough to know that a few years ago(maybe 2) , a man people knew and trusted at another district elementary school(although not a parent), waltzed in and kidnapped a young girl for several hours. This is school is full of volunteer opportunities besides the usual Pta stuff. They are open to you having lunch with your child, coming in for the parties, volunteering to read in the classroom, etc... I don't know how much more you can come to the school without interefering with the learning process!! Love this school!!"

"If you look at most of the reviews the older ones are 5 stars across. Most parents aren't as happy now. I am in full agreement that parents are shut out of their children's lives at this school. It's really sad. It's not caring environment outside of the classroom. It's run more like a prison than an elem. school. The teachers are great, but they're stuck in the middle and have no say. Parent involvement is so limited due to the rigid structure and is generally only related to PTA meetings or funding. I've talked with other people in other districts and they can not believe the issues we have at our school. Several times I have very seriously considered transferring my children."
