Summary

Wilson Elementary is a PK-5 public school in the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District (Isd) serving 756 students in Houston, TX, where over 67% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, reflecting a predominantly low socio-economic community. The school has a stable, mid-tier performance history, ranking in the 62nd percentile statewide with a 3-star rating, making it a solidly average school within Texas.

Wilson stands out as a relative "bright spot" among its immediate neighbors, outperforming nearby schools like McFee Elementary, Sheridan Elementary, Emery Elementary, Jowell Elementary, Tipps Elementary, Lieder Elementary, and Metcalf Elementary, which all rank in the 16th to 44th percentile. Its strongest area is reading, with 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade proficiency rates around 62%, significantly higher than the 40-50% range seen at these neighboring schools. However, Wilson faces a critical weakness in mathematics, with proficiency rates below district and state averages across all tested grades, which prevents it from achieving a higher overall ranking.

An interesting comparison is with the nearby Harmony School Of Achievement - Houston, a charter school in the Harmony Public Schools - Houston North district that ranks in the 87th percentile with 70%+ proficiency in both reading and math. While Wilson is the best-performing traditional public school in its cluster, it still trails Harmony by a wide margin, suggesting different models of success exist in the same neighborhood. Wilson's per-student spending ($10,887) and student-teacher ratio (15.8) are average compared to its peers, indicating its relative success likely stems from factors like school leadership or culture rather than resources alone.
