The school serves 406 students in kindergarten through fifth grade. At a student-teacher ratio of 16.9:1, class sizes stay manageable and individual attention is realistic at this scale.

Within Woodinville, Wellington ranks third out of ten public schools. It operates as a regular public school — no selective admissions, no lottery, no application process.
