Summary

Wilson Elementary is a Fresno Unified school in Fresno, California, serving 669 students in kindergarten through sixth grade. In 2025–26, its proficiency was below both the state and district in English language arts, math, and science. The largest gap is in science: 12% of students were proficient, compared with 36% statewide and 24% in Fresno Unified.

Among six nearby schools with the same K–6 span and reported results, Wilson ranked fifth in ELA and math and sixth in science. Its scores were 30% in ELA, 23% in math, and 12% in science, below nearby-school averages of 33%, 27%, and 18%, respectively. Third grade is a relative bright spot: Wilson’s 37% in both ELA and math was the best math result and second-best ELA result among those six schools. However, those third-grade scores remained below state averages by 7 points in ELA and 10 points in math. Chronic absenteeism has fallen substantially, but remains high: 37% of Wilson students were chronically absent in 2025–26, compared with 27% in the district and 18% statewide. Among eight nearby district schools with results, only Deborah A. Williams Elementary was higher, at 43%.

Scores have improved since 2022–23: ELA rose 14 percentage points, math 12 points, and science 5 points. The state gap narrowed in ELA and math, but science did not gain ground against the state. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile rose from 3 to 20, and its rating increased from 0 to 1 star; still, Wilson was third-lowest among nine nearby schools with same-year rankings. One notable subgroup result is SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well the school serves English Language Learner Students: it rose from the 24th percentile in 2022–23 to the 64th in 2023–24, though no later subgroup ranking is provided. For context, Wilson’s 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 19.9, near the middle of the nearby group, and 95.5% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the second-highest rate among nearby schools with the same measure and year; Williams was 95.9%.
