of 5,857 California Elementary Schools

Better than 22% of California elementary schools

Summary

Woodrow Wilson Elementary is a K-6 school serving 465 students in the Colton Joint Unified district, which ranks in the bottom 20% of California districts, and serves a community where nearly 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school's performance is below state averages, but shows a mixed picture compared to nearby schools like Terrace View Elementary and Ulysses Grant Elementary. For instance, its math scores are slightly above the district average, but it struggles significantly with chronic absenteeism, with nearly 30% of students missing too much school—a rate higher than most neighboring schools and a key challenge that correlates with lower performance.

The school has notable strengths in 4th grade, where students perform well in both English and math, but there are concerning drops in proficiency by 5th and 6th grade. Performance has been volatile year-to-year, and there are significant disparities in how different student groups are performing, with some groups showing sharp recent declines. While the school's per-student spending is in the mid-range for the area, it has the highest student-teacher ratio among its Colton Joint Unified peers, which may impact individual attention.
