Wilson Intermediate School

Public Grades 4-6
Summary

Wilson Intermediate School is a public middle school located in Pekin, Illinois, serving 585 students in grades 4-6. It is part of the Pekin PSD 108 district.

While Wilson Intermediate School has higher per-student spending than nearby schools, its academic performance is a concern. The school's English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics proficiency rates are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 42.7%, compared to 44% for the district and 53.1% for the state, while its mathematics proficiency rate was just 17.9%, compared to 22.4% for the district and 38.5% for the state. Additionally, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 34.9% is lower than the district's 32.3% and the state's 40.6%.

Another area of concern is Wilson Intermediate School's high chronic absenteeism rate, which has consistently been higher than the district and state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's chronic absenteeism rate was 25.4%, compared to 24.4% for the district and 27.5% for the state. Interestingly, nearby schools like Edison Junior High School and Broadmoor Junior High School, which are also part of the Pekin PSD 108 district, outperform Wilson Intermediate School in both ELA and mathematics proficiency. Additionally, Washington Intermediate School, another school in the district, and Tremont Middle School, a school in the Tremont CUSD 702 district, consistently outperform Wilson Intermediate School in both subjects.
