Summary

Wildwood Elementary is a K-5 public school serving about 607 students in the Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified district, performing solidly at the state average in core subjects while showing impressive recent progress in improving student attendance.

When compared to nearby schools, Wildwood stands out for its effectiveness with its student population, achieving stronger academic results than some schools with similar demographics like Valley Elementary and Calimesa Elementary. The school has made remarkable strides in reducing chronic absenteeism, now at 13.8%, which is better than both the district and state averages and notably lower than several area schools. However, families in the area should be aware that local charter schools, such as Inland Leaders Charter and Competitive Edge Charter Academy (CECA), generally report higher test scores and lower absenteeism, though they often serve different student populations.

An interesting pattern at Wildwood is the strength of its early grades, particularly third grade, where students perform very well, followed by a noticeable drop in proficiency in fourth and fifth-grade math. This suggests the school has a strong foundation to build upon for upper-grade improvement. Overall, Wildwood delivers consistent, mid-level performance with good efficiency and has demonstrated an impressive ability to get students to school regularly, a key factor for learning.
