Public Grades

Summary

Wilson Elementary is a public elementary school in Kenosha, Wisconsin, serving 116 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Kenosha School District, which is ranked 327 out of 424 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wilson Elementary stands out from nearby schools like McKinley Elementary, Jefferson Elementary, and Strange Elementary due to its significantly higher percentage of African American (48.28%) and Hispanic (37.07%) students, as well as its consistently low academic performance. In the 2022-2023 school year, only 7.14% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the district average of 33.67% and the state average of 37.88%. Additionally, Wilson Elementary has an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 33.0% to 51.2% over the past few years, and over 90% of its students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

While the nearby schools in the Kenosha School District also face challenges, with most ranking in the bottom half of Wisconsin elementary schools, Wilson Elementary stands out as one of the lowest-performing schools in the district and the state. This highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of the Wilson Elementary community and improve student outcomes.
