Summary

Wildwood Elementary School is a public elementary school in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, serving 470 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the East Baton Rouge Parish school district, which is ranked 81 out of 118 districts in the state.

Wildwood Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Wildwood's Mathematics proficiency rate for all grades was 68%, compared to 51% for East Baton Rouge Parish and 60% for Louisiana. The school's African American and Hispanic students also perform significantly better than their district and state counterparts in both subjects. However, Wildwood lags behind the high-performing B.R. Foreign Language Acad. Immersion Magnet and Mayfair Laboratory School, which consistently rank among the top elementary schools in Louisiana.

Despite its academic strengths, Wildwood Elementary faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.6% to 33.4% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. The school also has a significant population of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 37.84% to 58.72% over the past few years. These factors may impact overall student performance, and the school's fluctuating student-teacher ratio and performance gaps among different student subgroups indicate the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of all students.
