Wilson Elementary School

Summary:

Wilson Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Medford, Oregon, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 387 students. The school is part of the Medford School District 549C, which is ranked 66 out of 140 school districts in Oregon and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wilson Elementary School has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 362 and 615 out of around 700 schools. The school has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, indicating below-average performance compared to other elementary schools in the state. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are consistently lower than the Medford School District and the state of Oregon averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 38.5%, compared to 38.3% for the district and 39% for the state. Similarly, the 5th grade Math proficiency rate was 23.7%, compared to 28.5% for the district and 31.4% for the state.

When comparing Wilson Elementary School to other nearby schools in the Medford School District, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming compared to its peers. For instance, Lone Pine Elementary School, which is located just 1.73 miles away, consistently outperforms Wilson Elementary School in both ELA and Math proficiency rates across all grade levels. Similarly, Abraham Lincoln Elementary, located 1.93 miles away, also outperforms Wilson Elementary School in academic performance. The high percentage of students from low-income families at Wilson Elementary School may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance, and the school's relatively high student-teacher ratio (18:1 in 2022-2023) may also be a challenge.

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.
