Summary

Wildwood Elementary serves 291 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Piedmont, within the highly ranked Piedmont City Unified. Its most important distinction is exceptionally strong achievement: in 2025–26, at least 70% of students were proficient in each of the three tested subjects, and results were well above California averages in all three.

Wildwood is especially strong in English Language Arts (ELA) among nearby schools: it led the nine nearby K–5 peers, ranked second in math behind Beach Elementary, and fourth in science. Its results were 88% in ELA, 87% in math, and 70% in science—respectively 39, 49, and 34 percentage points above state results. Compared with the district, Wildwood was 1 point higher in ELA and 5 points higher in math, but 5 points lower in science. So science is a relative weak spot, even though it remains far above the state average.

Results have bounced back in the latest year, but the longer trend is mixed: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, ELA rose 2 points, math 3, and science 10; compared with 2022–23, ELA is down 1 point, math 7, and science 16. SchoolDigger ranks Wildwood 74th of 5,804 California schools, in the 99th percentile with five stars. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 17.4, the lowest among nearby schools, and 4% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Chronic absenteeism was also low in 2025–26: 2%, versus 5% in the district and 18% statewide. One subgroup stands out in SchoolDigger’s rankings: its “Multi-racial Students” measure was at the 78th percentile in 2025–26, compared with the school’s overall 99th percentile; the subgroup measure fell 14 points from 2023–24.
