Summary

Wilton Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 524 students in grades PK-6 in Wilton, Iowa, which is part of the Wilton Community School District. The school has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years, generally performing above the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency across all grade levels.

However, Wilton Elementary School has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 12.5% in 2021-2022 to 23.4% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the state's average. Additionally, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at the school has increased from 29.4% in 2021-2022 to 38.17% in 2023-2024, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students. Despite these challenges, Wilton Elementary School's spending per student of $11,938 in 2018-2019 is lower than the nearby schools in the Muscatine Community School District, which range from $13,538 to $16,051 per student.

Interestingly, Wilton Elementary School generally outperforms the nearby schools in the Muscatine district on test scores, particularly in Mathematics and Science. For example, in 2024-2025, Wilton's 5th-grade Science proficiency rate was 69.6%, compared to the Muscatine district average of 50.2%.
