Summary

Wilson Elementary is a highly-regarded K-5 public school serving 379 students in the San Gabriel Unified School District, consistently earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the top 15% of all California elementary schools.

The school truly excels in supporting all students to succeed, particularly in mathematics where proficiency far exceeds district and state averages. A standout strength is its exceptional effectiveness with economically disadvantaged students, outperforming 94% of schools statewide for this subgroup. Furthermore, Wilson maintains an remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 3.8%, a key factor in student success that is significantly better than the district average of 13.1% and even rivals rates in much more affluent areas like Valentine Elementary in San Marino Unified. Compared to district peers like Coolidge Elementary and Roosevelt Elementary, Wilson achieves stronger academic results while operating more cost-effectively per student.

Located near several elite schools, Wilson proves that strong outcomes are achievable across the socioeconomic spectrum. The school shows a positive trajectory of improvement since the pandemic, with rising test scores and dramatically reduced absenteeism. While performance is strong overall, it is notably higher for male students and for students from low-income families, indicating the school has developed particularly effective strategies for these groups. For families seeking a school with a proven record of helping every child thrive, Wilson Elementary represents a compelling and high-achieving choice within the public school system.
