Summary

Wilson Elementary School in Montgomery, AL, is a mid-sized public school serving 376 students in grades PK through 5 within the Montgomery County district.

One of the most striking things about Wilson Elementary is its exceptional attendance record. The chronic absenteeism rate is just 6.3%—nearly four times lower than the district average of 25.2% and about half the state average. This is a clear strength that suggests strong family engagement and a positive school culture around showing up every day. Academically, the school shows relative strengths in English Language Arts and science, with 4th and 5th grade reading scores at or above district averages and 4th grade science proficiency (35.59%) actually beating the district average. However, math proficiency is a significant challenge, with only 11.69% of 3rd graders proficient compared to the district's 27.16%. The school's overall state ranking has declined steadily over the past nine years, from the 58th percentile in 2016-2017 to the 20th percentile today. Perhaps the most telling comparison is to MacMillan International at McKee, a school just over six miles away with nearly identical demographics (50% free/reduced lunch vs. Wilson's 49%). MacMillan ranks in the 94th percentile statewide with 5 stars, while Wilson sits in the 20th percentile with 1 star—a gap that points to school-level practices, not student background, as the key driver of outcomes.

For parents, the picture is mixed. Wilson spends more per student ($10,131) than the dramatically higher-performing MacMillan ($8,108), suggesting funding isn't the issue. The school also has a higher student-teacher ratio (18.8) than nearby Blount Elementary (15.6), which outperforms Wilson in nearly every subject. There are also concerns about services for special education students, which dropped from the 58th percentile to the 4th percentile in a single year. On the positive side, English Language Learners at Wilson ranked in the 91st percentile statewide, a remarkable strength. While the school faces real academic challenges, its outstanding attendance and pockets of success in literacy and science provide a foundation to build on.
