Wilson Elementary

Summary:

Wilson Elementary is a public elementary school located in Fishersville, Virginia, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 647. The school is part of the Augusta County Public Schools district, which is ranked 64 out of 130 school districts in Virginia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wilson Elementary faces several challenges, including lower academic performance compared to the state and district averages, a ranking in the bottom half of Virginia elementary schools, and a growing population of economically disadvantaged students. However, the school's diverse student population is a strength, with a higher percentage of African American, Hispanic, and multiracial students compared to nearby schools like Cassell Elementary, Guy K. Stump Elementary, and Stuarts Draft Elementary. Additionally, Wilson Elementary performs relatively well for its African American and Hispanic student subgroups compared to other Virginia elementary schools.

While Wilson Elementary's spending per student has increased over the years, it is still lower than some of the nearby schools, such as Berkeley Glenn Elementary. The school's student-teacher ratio is comparable to the nearby schools, ranging from 14.3 to 16.3 over the past three school years. Overall, Wilson Elementary's diverse student population and targeted support for certain subgroups present opportunities for improvement, but the school faces significant challenges in raising its overall academic performance and statewide ranking.

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.
