Summary

Wilson Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 370 students in grades PK-5 in Montgomery, Alabama, which is part of the Montgomery County School District. Unfortunately, the school consistently underperforms compared to county and state averages on standardized tests, with only 33.33% of 3rd graders proficient in math in 2024-2025, compared to 28.05% in Montgomery County and 45.47% statewide.

Wilson Elementary also struggles to effectively serve certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% of Alabama schools for students with special needs and those from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 11% to 28.5%, are significantly above the state average, indicating issues with student engagement and attendance. Over time, Wilson Elementary's statewide ranking has declined, from 290th out of 688 Alabama elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 515th out of 680 in 2024-2025, and it is currently rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Interestingly, nearby schools in the Montgomery County district, such as Blount Elementary, outperform Wilson Elementary on most academic metrics and have higher statewide rankings. Additionally, the nearby public magnet school, MacMillan International at McKee, significantly outperforms Wilson across the board, with over 80% of 3rd graders proficient in math and English in 2024-2025, compared to just 33-62% at Wilson.
