Summary

Wilkerson Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 325 students in the El Monte City School District, standing out as a strong performer in its high-need community.

Academically, Wilkerson ranks above average statewide, consistently outperforming both its district and California in English and math. For example, it scores higher than nearby schools like Potrero Elementary and Columbia Elementary. A major strength is its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 4.0%, which is less than half the district average and a key factor likely supporting its academic success. The school is particularly effective for its economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 74th percentile for this group. However, a notable performance gap exists, with boys significantly outperforming girls, and science scores are an area identified for improvement.

Within the El Monte City district, Wilkerson is a top performer, alongside New Lexington Elementary. In contrast, schools in the neighboring Mountain View Elementary district, such as Parkview Elementary and Willard F. Payne Elementary, perform lower despite similar funding, highlighting differences in district effectiveness.
