Wiley Elementary

Summary:

Wiley Elementary is a public magnet elementary school in Raleigh, North Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 369 students. The school is part of the Wake County Schools district, which is ranked 59th out of 242 districts in North Carolina and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wiley Elementary has a relatively diverse student population, with 47.7% White, 26.56% African American, 19.51% Hispanic, and 2.71% Asian students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better on the End-of-Grade (EOG) tests, is generally on par with or slightly below the Wake County Schools and North Carolina state averages. Notably, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White students consistently performing well, ranking in the top 10-15% of North Carolina elementary schools, while African American and Hispanic students perform significantly below the state average, ranking in the bottom 40-60% of schools. Additionally, Wiley Elementary has seen an increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 30.43% in 2021-2022 to 42.82% in 2022-2023, suggesting a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

Compared to nearby magnet schools, such as Fuller Elementary, Hunter Elementary, and Underwood Elementary, Wiley Elementary's academic performance is generally lower, with these schools consistently outperforming Wiley on EOG tests, particularly in math and reading. Additionally, the nearby Olds Elementary, a non-magnet public school, has academic performance that is generally on par with or slightly better than Wiley Elementary, despite having a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students. These comparisons suggest that Wiley Elementary may need to implement targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes, particularly for its African American and Hispanic students.

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.

Impact of COVID-19 on Wiley Elementary

The coronavirus has had a profound impact on education in America. Learning shifted online overnight, attendance numbers dwindled, and enrollment decreased. SchoolDigger.com is making it easier for you to better assess how COVID-19 has impacted your school. Through the collection of pre-pandemic (2019) and current data, SchoolDigger.com is sharing test scores, enrollment numbers and school demographics from schools across the country – and we make it easy to see how impacted schools compare locally and statewide.
