Summary

Wilson Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 448 students in the Sanger Unified district, and it faces significant academic challenges while serving a student population with very high economic need.

Academically, Wilson is the lowest-performing school in its district, with proficiency rates far below the district average—only about 22% of students are proficient in English and math, and a critically low 4.4% are proficient in science. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past seven years to the 16th percentile. While chronic absenteeism has improved from pandemic highs, at 17.7% it remains above the district average. Notably, other schools in the area with similar high-need student populations, like Del Rey Elementary and Jefferson Elementary, achieve substantially better academic results.

The performance gap within the same district is stark; for example, Fairmont Elementary, just five miles away, ranks in the 81st percentile. Wilson has the highest student-teacher ratio (27:1) among comparable local schools, even though its per-student spending is not the lowest. The data shows that the school's effectiveness with English Learners dropped dramatically in one year, and there are unusual patterns in performance by grade level, with fifth graders performing particularly poorly. These factors suggest Wilson requires specific, targeted support and intervention to improve outcomes for its students.
