Summary

Wilson Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 545 students in the Dinuba Unified School District, and it stands out for its remarkable decade-long improvement and particular strengths in supporting specific student groups.

The school has shown impressive growth, moving from a lower state ranking ten years ago to now performing better than over half of California's elementary schools. Its most notable achievement is its exceptional support for English Language Learners, ranking in the top 7% of schools statewide for this group. Wilson also leads other Dinuba Unified schools in mathematics, with proficiency rates significantly above the district average, and its younger students, especially in 3rd grade, perform very strongly in both math and English. While chronic student absenteeism is higher than the district and state averages, it has improved dramatically over the last few years.

When compared to nearby schools in other districts, such as those in Kings Canyon Joint Unified like Washington Elementary, Wilson faces higher absenteeism and lower science scores. However, within its own district, Wilson's balanced performance and expertise with English Learners are clear strengths. The school's trajectory suggests effective teaching and leadership, with opportunities to build on its success by further improving attendance and strengthening instruction in the upper grades and in science.
