Wilson School consistently outperforms the Lodi School District and the state of New Jersey in standardized test scores for English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics across grades 3-5. In 2024-2025, Wilson School's ELA proficiency rates were 72.1% for 3rd grade, 73.4% for 4th grade, and 76.8% for 5th grade, compared to the district's 62.8%, 71.9%, and 71.4%, respectively, and the state's 44.9%, 53.6%, and 52.7%. In Mathematics, Wilson School's proficiency rates were 61.9% for 3rd grade, 32.8% for 4th grade, and 62.7% for 5th grade, compared to the district's 58.7%, 47.7%, and 48.1%, and the state's 49.8%, 46.7%, and 44.2%. Wilson School's 5th-grade Science proficiency rate of 37.3% also exceeds the district's 29.4% and the state's 30.1%.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Lodi School District and the neighboring Garfield Public School District and Hasbrouck Heights School District, Wilson School generally outperforms its peers in academic achievement, particularly in ELA and Mathematics. This suggests that Wilson School is a high-performing school within its local context. However, the school's fluctuating chronic absenteeism rates, which occasionally exceed the 10% target, indicate a potential area for improvement.

What people are saying

Wednesday, November 18, 2015

Board of Education wants to spend 7 million on a new administration building. This money is in a reserve account and should be used for the children. They cut the basic needs for elementary schools. Examples: Workbooks for spelling, english, reading, and wonder why test results are poor. The failing system is the result of the extreme degree of nepotism. The principal of this school actually is first cousins with the administrator, who in turn got his job from his father. Close Quote
