Summary

Wilmer Elementary School is a PK-5 school in Wilmer, Alabama, serving 443 students as part of the Mobile County school district, where about 72% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

One of the most impressive things happening at Wilmer is a dramatic turnaround in attendance. Chronic absenteeism has dropped from 36.4% in 2022-2023 to just 8.8% in 2024-2025—a 76% reduction that now beats both the district (12.8%) and state (12.0%) averages. This suggests real, effective efforts to get kids to school consistently. Academically, the school shows a clear pattern of growth as students move up in grade levels. In 2025-2026, only 17% of 3rd graders were proficient in math, but by 5th grade, that jumped to 44%—above the state average of 39%. English scores follow the same upward trend, with 5th graders hitting 73% proficiency. The school also shines in science, with 4th graders scoring well above district and state averages. Wilmer is particularly effective with English Language Learners, ranking in the 65th percentile statewide, and has shown steady improvement with Hispanic students over the past few years.

Compared to nearby schools, Wilmer outperforms Collins-Rhodes Elementary, Orchard Elementary, and Indian Springs Elementary, but trails higher-performing neighbors like J.E. Turner Elementary (just 4.5 miles away) and Tanner Williams Elementary. While the school's overall ranking sits in the 42nd percentile, the strong upward trajectory in upper grades, combined with the remarkable attendance improvement, points to a school that is heading in the right direction. Parents should note that 3rd grade scores are a weak spot, but the consistent growth through 5th grade suggests the school is effective at accelerating learning once students settle in.
