Summary

Wildwood Elementary is a top-ranked K-5 public school serving 291 students in the high-performing Piedmont City Unified school district, consistently placing in the top 3% of all California elementary schools.

The school is distinguished by its exceptional and consistent academic results, with 86% of students proficient in English and 84% in math, far exceeding state averages, and remarkably low chronic absenteeism at 3.8%. Its most outstanding strength is its support for special education students, ranking #2 in the entire state for that subgroup. While it performs slightly below district peer Beach Elementary and above Havens Elementary, Wildwood achieves these elite outcomes efficiently, spending less per student than many comparable schools.

Compared to nearby schools in the Oakland Unified district, such as Crocker Highlands Elementary or Piedmont Avenue Elementary, Wildwood's academic proficiency is significantly higher despite often having lower per-student spending, highlighting a stark performance gap between the two districts. A relative area for growth is science proficiency, where its scores, while solid, are not as exceptional as its other subjects. Overall, Wildwood represents a model of stable, high-quality public education with a particular expertise in supporting diverse learners.
