Summary

Wilson Elementary serves 449 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in San Bernardino, within the San Bernardino City Unified district. The school’s results show a mix of strengths and needs: it ranks among the stronger nearby schools in English language arts and math, while science is a weaker area compared with district and state results. The most important takeaway is that scores have improved, but Wilson remains below state averages in all three core subjects.

Locally, Wilson is second among 11 schools in ELA and fourth in both math and science; its results are above nearby-school averages in all three. ELA proficiency is 39%, about 1 point below the district and 11 points below the state, but 5 points above the nearby-school average. Math is 29%—3 points above the district and 10 below the state—while science is 21%, 4 points below the district and 15 below the state. Third-grade ELA stands out: 46% is 2 points above the state result. Fourth-grade math is a clear concern at 19%, compared with 42% statewide and 27% in the district.

Wilson’s ELA proficiency rose from 23% in 2022–2023 to 39% in 2025–2026, narrowing its state gap from 24 points to 11; math increased from 22% to 29%, and science from 13% to 21%. SchoolDigger ranks Wilson at the 35th statewide percentile, with 2 stars, up from the 15th percentile the previous year, though still below the statewide midpoint. Its 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 18.7, the lowest reported among nearby schools, and 92% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings also shifted notably: Special Education Students went from the 53rd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 12th in 2024–2025, then to the 36th in 2025–2026; Hispanic Students ranked at the 47th percentile most recently, compared with Wilson’s overall 35th percentile.
