Summary

Wildwood Elementary is a K–5 school serving 607 students in Yucaipa, in the Yucaipa-Calimesa area. Its 2025–2026 results show a sharp difference across grades: fifth-grade math proficiency was just 13%, compared with 37% statewide and 27% in the district. That is the school’s clearest academic concern.

Across all grades, English language arts (ELA) is Wildwood’s strongest subject: 49% of students were proficient, close to the state’s 49% and above the Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified result of 43%. Wildwood’s ELA result was also above the 43% average for six nearby K–5 schools. Math proficiency was 31%, below the state’s 38% and close to the district’s 31%; it was also 5 points below the nearby-school average of 36%. Science is the weakest overall comparison: 25% were proficient, versus 36% statewide, 32% in the district, and a 30% nearby K–5 average. The school’s fifth-grade math result was second-lowest among nearby K–5 schools; only Calimesa Elementary scored lower.

Over four reported years, ELA improved by 7 points, while math fell by 3 and science by 7. Chronic absenteeism also dropped substantially, from 30% in 2022–2023 to 15% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 20% and state’s 18%. SchoolDigger placed Wildwood at the 48th percentile with 2 stars in 2025–2026, down from the 57th percentile and 3 stars the year before. Its student-teacher ratio was 25.4 in 2024–2025, compared with a nearby average of 24; 58% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, slightly below the nearby average of 62%. One group result stands out: SchoolDigger ranked the school at the 19th percentile for White students, 29 points below its overall percentile, indicating notably weaker measured performance in serving this group.
