Wilson Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with 51.73% White, 16.63% African American, 12.93% Hispanic, and 17.09% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally lower than the district and state averages.

Similarly, in Mathematics, Wilson's proficiency rates ranged from 45.9% to 63%, compared to the district's 51.6% to 60% and the state's 71.1% to 76.3%. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 56.58% to 62.63% over the past three years.

While Wilson Elementary has a lower student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools like Eisenhower Elementary and Truman Elementary, its academic performance is consistently lower. The school has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is struggling to meet academic benchmarks. To address these challenges, the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions and allocate additional resources to support the diverse needs of the student population.

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.
