Summary

Wilmington Park Elementary serves 472 students in grades K–5 in Wilmington, California, and its results sit near the middle of the nearby school group. One concern for families is attendance: chronic absenteeism was 25% in 2025–2026, compared with 18% statewide and 23% in Los Angeles Unified. The clearest academic strength is math, especially fifth grade, where Wilmington Park had the highest proficiency among the eight nearby K–5 schools.

Math is also the school’s strongest subject overall: 42% of students were proficient, compared with 38% statewide and 40% in the district, and Wilmington Park ranked fourth among the eight nearby K–5 schools. Its 42% result was 6 points above their average. ELA is a relative weakness: 35% were proficient, below the state’s 49%, the district’s 48%, and the nearby-school average of 38%; the school ranked fifth of eight. Fourth-grade ELA was particularly low at 27%, while fifth-grade ELA was 47%. Science proficiency was 22%, below the state’s 36% and the district’s 32%, but close to the nearby K–5 average; Wilmington Park ranked fourth of eight. In fifth-grade math, 48% were proficient, versus 37% statewide and 40% districtwide.

Scores have risen since 2022–2023: math increased 15 percentage points to 42%, science rose 9 points to 22%, and ELA gained 5 points to 35%, though ELA fell from 37% the previous year. SchoolDigger rates the school 2 stars, at the 44th statewide percentile in 2025–2026, up from the 29th percentile in 2022–2023; nearby leaders Broad Avenue Elementary, Catskill Avenue Elementary, and Gulf Avenue Elementary ranked higher. The student–teacher ratio was 21.4 in 2024–2025, and 96% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year; these figures provide context, not explanations for results. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for “Hispanic Students” was 63, above the school’s overall 44. Its “English Language Learner Students” percentile rose sharply from 2 in 2022–2023 to 61 in 2023–2024, but no more recent subgroup ranking is available.
