Summary

Wilson Elementary School is a public elementary school in Davenport, Iowa, serving 565 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Davenport Community School District, which is ranked 297 out of 313 school districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wilson Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Iowa elementary schools, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past 10 years. The school faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 21.6% to 42.5%, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Wilson's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd-grade proficiency rates were 61.9% in ELA and 71.4% in Math, compared to the district's 52% and 57.8%, and the state's 67.9% and 75.8%, respectively.

When compared to nearby schools in the Davenport Community School District, Wilson Elementary School appears to be underperforming. For instance, Harrison Elementary School, located about 3 miles away, consistently outperforms Wilson in test scores across all grade levels and subjects, and has a higher statewide ranking with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, these factors do not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the students at Wilson Elementary.
