Summary

Wildwood Elementary School is a PK-5 school in Baton Rouge, LA, serving 433 students within the East Baton Rouge Parish school district, and it has shown a remarkable and steady climb from a 1-star to a 3-star rating over the past decade, now ranking in the 55th percentile statewide.

This school stands out for its consistent academic growth, a pattern of stability not seen in nearby schools like Magnolia Woods Elementary School, which fluctuates significantly in its rankings. Wildwood is a strong, reliable neighborhood school option, outperforming other traditional schools in the area such as Jefferson Terrace Academy and South Baton Rouge Charter Academy, while offering a more intimate learning environment with a low student-teacher ratio of 11.4:1—much lower than the 33.9:1 ratio at South Baton Rouge Charter Academy. A key strength is mathematics, where 66% of students were proficient in 2025-2026, outperforming the district average of 55% and nearby schools like Highland Elementary School (55%).

While Wildwood excels in math and has shown exceptional effectiveness with its African American students (ranking in the 75th percentile statewide), it faces challenges in serving its low-income students, who make up 65.59% of the student body, ranking only in the 38th percentile for that subgroup. The school also has a chronic absenteeism rate of 22.1%, which is better than the district average of 30.5% but much higher than top-performing magnet schools like Mayfair Laboratory School (2.5%). Social studies is a consistent weakness, with only 57% of students proficient in 2025-2026, just above the state average. Overall, Wildwood is a story of successful improvement, offering a solid, mid-tier education with a strong math program and a dedicated focus on student growth.
