B. Gale Wilson Middle

Public Grades K-8

Summary

B. Gale Wilson Middle is a K-8 school serving 602 students in the Fairfield-Suisun Unified district, and it stands out for performing better academically than many nearby schools with similar levels of economic need among students.

While the school's test scores in English and Math are below state averages, it is important to compare it to its local peers. For example, Dover Elementary, Anna Kyle Elementary, and Weir Preparatory Academy all serve students with high economic need and have significantly lower proficiency rates. Suisun Valley Elementary and K. I. Jones Elementary score higher, but they also serve communities with less economic need. The school also has a lower rate of chronic student absenteeism than several surrounding schools, though it is still an area for improvement.

The school shows particular strengths in science, where it recently scored above the district average, and it has been historically more effective for certain groups of students compared to schools statewide. A key challenge is a recent, sharp increase in the number of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which makes maintaining its academic standing more difficult. Overall, B. Gale Wilson Middle is a mid-performing school in its district that achieves stronger results than expected given the economic circumstances of its students.
