Summary:
The Wilson Elementary District in Arizona contains only one middle school, Wilson Elementary School, which serves grades 4-8 with a total enrollment of 511 students.
Wilson Elementary School appears to be a struggling middle school, with a declining statewide ranking from 736 out of 854 Arizona middle schools in 2022-2023 to 404 out of 552 in 2024-2025, and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are significantly below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with only 13% of 5th graders proficient or better in Science in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 34%. In 8th grade English Language Arts, 35% were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 40%. Additionally, the school's dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 5.2%.
Despite the high spending per student at $21,264 for the 2021-2022 school year, the data suggests that funding alone may not be the primary driver of the school's underperformance. The school's performance is consistently below the state averages, indicating a systemic issue that may require further investigation and intervention, such as examining the curriculum, teaching quality, or school leadership.
