Similarly, in AASA/Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 14% to 23%, while the state average was 28% to 30%. The school has a low statewide ranking, consistently placing in the bottom half of Arizona middle schools, and has experienced relatively high dropout rates in recent years, ranging from 0.3% to 9.9% between the 2016-2017 and 2021-2022 school years.

When comparing Wilson Elementary School to nearby middle schools, such as McKemy Academy of International Studies, Imagine Camelback Middle, and New School for the Arts Middle School, the academic performance and statewide rankings of Wilson Elementary School are significantly lower. The school's high poverty rates, low funding, and high student-teacher ratios may be contributing factors to these challenges, and addressing these issues will be crucial for improving the educational opportunities and outcomes for the students at Wilson Elementary School.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
