Summary

Wilson Elementary is a 379-student K–5 school serving families in San Gabriel as part of San Gabriel Unified. For 2025–26, SchoolDigger places it in the 88th percentile statewide and gives it four stars, compared with the district’s 72nd-percentile standing and four stars. The key takeaway is that Wilson is strong across all three tested subjects, with science its clearest advantage.

Science proficiency was 69%—22 percentage points above the district, 34 above the state, and 19 above the average for nearby K–5 schools; Wilson ranked third among those eight nearby schools. Math was also strong at 69%, 18 points above the district, 30 above the state, and 9 above the nearby-school average, again ranking third. ELA is Wilson’s relative weak spot, though results remain strong: 68% proficiency was 8 points above the district, 19 above the state, and 5 above the nearby average, ranking fourth locally.

Results have improved, though not in a straight line. Science rose from 47% in 2022–23 to 69% in 2025–26, after dipping to 42% in 2023–24; Wilson’s gap over the state widened from 16 to 34 percentage points. Chronic absenteeism fell from 16% to 3% over the same period, putting the latest rate 9 points below the district and 16 below the state. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile also climbed from 80 to 88. For context, the 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 23.6, and 46% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s subgroup standings show a notable difference for Asian Students: the 2025–26 percentile was 49, compared with 88 overall. For Hispanic Students, the percentile fell from 89 in 2023–24 to 70 in 2024–25.
