Summary

Laura Ingalls Wilder Elementary is a PK-5 school in Pearland, TX, serving 678 students within the highly-rated Alvin Independent School District (Isd). The school has earned a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for six consecutive years, though its current performance represents a slight decline from a historic peak in 2019 when it ranked in the 94th percentile. While Wilder is a strong school, it is the lowest-ranked among its three closest Alvin ISD peers, including Glenn York Elementary and Shirley Dill Brothers Elementary, which consistently earn 5-star ratings and rank in the 94th-96th percentile.

The most compelling story at Wilder is the stark contrast between its two math programs. The school offers 6th Grade Math to its 5th-grade students, and these advanced learners achieve remarkable results—85% were proficient in 2024-2025, more than double the state average. However, the standard 5th-grade math cohort has experienced a persistent dip, with proficiency rates falling from 36% in 2022-2023 to just 20% in 2024-2025, significantly below the state average of 46.2%. This "barbell effect" suggests the school excels at accelerating top performers but faces challenges in its standard curriculum that need attention.

On a positive note, the school has shown dramatic improvement in supporting its Special Education students, with their statewide ranking jumping from the 51st percentile in 2023-2024 to the 87th percentile in 2025-2026. When compared to nearby out-of-district schools like Ridgemont Elementary (Fort Bend ISD) and Almeda Elementary (Houston ISD), Wilder's proficiency rates in Reading (65-69%) and Math (62-72%) are often double or triple those of these schools, highlighting how school performance can vary dramatically over short distances. The school's recent improvement in Special Education scores is a promising sign that it is adapting to meet the needs of all its students.
