Summary

Wildwood Intermediate School in Wildwood, FL, serves 409 students in grades 3 through 6 within the Sumter school district, and it stands out for its exceptional student attendance and a notable strength in 4th-grade math.

The most remarkable feature of Wildwood Intermediate is its 0% chronic absenteeism rate for the 2023-2024 school year, a stark contrast to nearby schools like Leesburg Elementary School (50.1%) and Stanton-Weirsdale Elementary School (42.6%). This suggests a strong culture of attendance and family engagement. Academically, the school shows a "mixed bag" compared to peers. While 4th-grade math proficiency (75%) is the highest in the area and above the state average (65%), math scores drop significantly in 5th and 6th grades (46% and 48%, respectively), which are below district and state averages. This pattern indicates a potential challenge in the upper-grade math curriculum, even as the school invests more per student ($13,461) than many nearby schools, such as Harbour View Elementary School ($12,582).

Interestingly, Wildwood Intermediate's performance is best understood in a regional context. While its scores often trail the Sumter district average, they are competitive with or better than schools in neighboring Lake and Marion counties. For example, its 6th-grade English Language Arts score (67%) is higher than any comparable school in those districts. The school appears to have a particularly effective program for 4th graders, who outperformed the state in both math and English Language Arts in the 2025-2026 school year. This "sweet spot" suggests a targeted strength, but the declining math performance in later grades points to an area for improvement that families may want to explore further.
