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.
