Wellington Elementary was built in 1998. The school serves children who reside in Flower Mound in the southwestern portion of the Lewisville ISD.
The school had 961 students in the 2008-2009 school year, which is a huge change from the 386 students in that first year. We have a large staff with many years of experience. Wellington boasts a fantastic PTA, with parents who support the teachers and students with grants, programs, and activities throughout the year.
If you are lucky, you will get to be a part of this wonderful learning environment.
