Summary

Wilmer Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 443 students in grades PK-5 in Wilmer, Alabama, which is part of the Mobile County school district. The school has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Alabama elementary schools, receiving a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wilmer Elementary faces significant challenges, including low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a high proportion of students from low-income backgrounds. The school's test scores consistently underperform compared to the Mobile County and Alabama state averages, with only 37.14% of 3rd graders proficient or better in math, compared to 36.88% in the county and 45.47% statewide. Additionally, Wilmer Elementary has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.8% to 31.5% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 74.72% to 75.72%, indicating a high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When comparing Wilmer Elementary to nearby schools in the Mobile County district, it consistently underperforms on test scores and has higher chronic absenteeism rates. For example, Tanner Williams Elementary and J.E. Turner Elementary, which are both within 10 miles of Wilmer, significantly outperform Wilmer on math and English proficiency rates. The school's underperformance does not appear to be due to a lack of funding, as its spending per student of $9,866 in 2018-2019 is on par with the spending levels of nearby schools.
