Summary:
The Wilmar Union Elementary district in Petaluma, California, consists of a single K-6 school, Wilson Elementary, serving 235 students with a consistent 4-star rating.
Wilson Elementary stands out for its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 4%, far below the state average, indicating a strong culture of attendance and engagement. Academically, the school performs above state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics overall, with particular strength in 4th-grade subjects. However, a notable dip in 6th-grade mathematics proficiency to just below the state average presents a key area for attention. The school serves an economically diverse population and achieves these results with a student-teacher ratio of 23.4 to 1.
While maintaining its star rating, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years. Its science scores, though above average, are the school's lowest tested subject. The district ranks in the 75th percentile statewide, and the school's strong outcomes across a diverse student body suggest effective use of resources and instructional practices, with clear opportunities to strengthen upper-grade math and science curriculum.
