Summary:
Wilson Elementary is a public elementary school in Spokane, Washington, serving 360 students in grades PK-6. As part of the Spokane School District, Wilson Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with exceptional academic performance across all grade levels and student subgroups.
Wilson Elementary's students consistently outperform the district and state averages in SBAC/English Language Arts, SBAC/Math, and WCAS/Science assessments. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 76.88% in ELA, 77.02% in Math, and 72.55% in Science, compared to the district's 48.46%, 38.41%, and 47.42%, respectively. The school's female, white, special education, and low socioeconomic status students all perform exceptionally well, ranking among the top in the state. However, the school has a relatively homogeneous student population, with a majority (over 80%) of white students, in contrast to some of the nearby schools, such as Grant Elementary, which has a more diverse student population.
While Wilson Elementary's consistently high academic performance and focus on equity and inclusion are commendable, the fluctuations in spending per student over the past few years suggest the need for further investigation into the school's resource allocation and funding priorities. Comparing Wilson Elementary to nearby schools, such as Hamblen Elementary and Roosevelt Elementary, which also demonstrate strong academic performance, provides valuable insights into the factors influencing student success within the Spokane School District.
