Summary

Wilson Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 449 students in the San Bernardino City Unified School District, an area where many families face significant economic challenges.

While Wilson's overall academic performance is below state averages, it has some notable strengths when compared to other local schools. For instance, its mathematics scores are slightly better than the district average and higher than many nearby schools like Lincoln Elementary and Hunt Elementary. The school has also shown a consistent strength in supporting English Language Learners and performs well in Spanish Language Arts assessments. Furthermore, Wilson has made impressive progress in improving student attendance, with its chronic absenteeism rate now lower than at Del Rosa Elementary and several other comparison schools.

The school benefits from significant resources, spending more per student than most neighboring schools and maintaining a lower student-to-teacher ratio than Fairfax Elementary and others. However, translating these advantages into higher overall academic achievement remains a challenge. Performance for special education students has varied greatly from year to year, and the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past several years, unlike Bradley Elementary, which has been more stable.
