Summary

In Santa Rosa, J.X. Wilson Elementary serves 332 students in grades K–6. In 2025–26, proficiency was 46% in ELA, 34% in math and 23% in science. The key takeaway is that the school ranked second among nine nearby K–6 schools with scores that year in all three subjects, behind Robert L. Stevens Elementary, while remaining below the state in every subject.

Compared with the nearby K–6 average, J.X. Wilson was ahead by 21 points in ELA, 12 in math and 8 in science. Its ELA result was 3 points below the state and 2 above the Santa Rosa Elementary district; math was 4 points below the state and just below the district; science was 13 points below the state and 4 below the district. ELA is its strongest subject relative to these benchmarks, while science is the weakest. Results also vary by grade: fourth graders were 6 points above the state in both ELA and math, while fifth-grade math was 21%, 16 points below the state.

Over the four reported years, ELA rose from 40% to 46% and math from 28% to 34%; the gaps with the state narrowed in both subjects. Science fell from 27% to 23%, despite briefly reaching 43% in 2023–24, and its gap with the state widened. SchoolDigger rated the school at the 49th percentile with 2 stars in 2025–26, up from the 39th percentile the year before. Its subgroup rankings also show uneven changes: SchoolDigger’s ranking of the school’s effectiveness for disabled students fell from the 70th percentile in 2017–18 to the 7th in 2021–22. In 2024–25, 78% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; the student–teacher ratio was 22.1, near the middle of the nearby-school range. Attendance has improved: chronic absenteeism fell from 46% in 2021–22 to 16% in 2025–26, below both the district and state rates.
