Summary

Wilson Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 669 students in the Fresno Unified district, located in a high-need area where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 10% of California elementary schools with test scores well below state and district averages; for example, only about 22% of students are proficient in English and 17% in math. A major concern is chronic absenteeism, with 36% of students missing too much school, a rate nearly double the state average and higher than many nearby schools like Roeding Elementary (23.8%) and Wawona K-8 (26.4%). Performance is particularly low in upper grades, with only 12.5% of 6th graders proficient in English.

Interesting comparisons with nearby schools highlight factors beyond funding, as Wilson spends over $20,000 per student but achieves poorer outcomes than schools with less funding, such as the higher-performing Morris E. Dailey Charter Elementary. Even Aspen Valley Prep Academy, located just a tenth of a mile away, has better attendance and academic results, suggesting school-level practices greatly impact student success. The strong link between high absenteeism and low achievement across all local schools indicates that improving attendance could be a key step for Wilson's improvement.
