Summary

Woodrow Wilson Elementary School serves 622 students in grades K–6 in Cicero, within Cicero School District 99, which SchoolDigger ranks in the 4th statewide percentile with 0 stars. The most important takeaway is that its results vary sharply by subject: ELA is a relative strength, but math and science results are much weaker.

In 2025–2026, ELA proficiency was 38%, above the district’s 35% and the nearby-school average of 35%, though 18 points below the state’s 56%. Grade 6 ELA stands out: 54% was the highest among nearby schools with reported grade 6 scores and 9 points above the district. Grade 5 ELA was weaker at 23%, the lowest among nearby schools reporting that grade. Math proficiency was 16%, below the district’s 22%, the nearby average of 28%, and the state’s 40%; it was the lowest among the nine nearby schools with scores. Grade 5 science was also the lowest among nearby schools with reported results: 16%, compared with 30% for the district, 35% nearby, and 48% statewide. Math was below the district in every grade with a reported result; the grade 5 math score is not available.

ELA improved from 19% in 2023–2024 to 38% in 2025–2026, narrowing its gap with the state by 4 points. Math rose from 11% to 16%, but its gap with the state widened by 6 points. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking fell from the 24th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 11th in 2025–2026; it awarded 1 star in each year. SchoolDigger’s 2024–2025 ranking for Special Education Students was at the 5th percentile, compared with the school’s overall 21st percentile—a notably lower measure of how well the school serves that group. Its English Language Learner Students ranking dropped from the 37th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 21st in 2025–2026, but remained above the overall 11th percentile. As context, the 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 16.5, and 86% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that school year; these figures describe the school, but do not explain its results.
