Summary:
The city of Wilbur, Washington is home to two schools: Wilbur Secondary School and Wilbur Elementary School, both part of the Wilbur School District. While the schools share the same district, they exhibit distinct strengths and areas for improvement.
Wilbur Secondary School stands out for its relatively high four-year graduation rate of 84.0% and low dropout rate of 4.0%. The school also performs strongly in 8th grade SBAC English Language Arts and Math, exceeding district and state averages. In contrast, Wilbur Elementary School excels in WCAS Science proficiency, with exceptionally high proficiency rates across all grades and in 5th grade specifically, well above district and state averages.
However, the data also reveals disparities in academic performance. While Wilbur Secondary School performs well in 8th grade SBAC assessments, it struggles to maintain that level of performance in high school, falling behind state averages. Conversely, Wilbur Elementary School lags behind in overall SBAC proficiency, despite its strong WCAS Science results. These differences may be influenced by factors such as funding, student-teacher ratios, and the diversity of the student populations at each school.
