Summary

Wildwood Elementary/Middle is a large PK-8 school in Baltimore, MD, serving 743 students in the Baltimore City Public Schools district, where a high percentage of families (85.87%) face economic challenges.

Wildwood stands out for its strong upward momentum and some surprising academic bright spots. After ranking in the bottom 3% of Maryland elementary schools in 2022-2023, the school has climbed to the 14th percentile by 2025-2026, showing three consecutive years of improvement—a more consistent recovery than many nearby schools. One of the most notable findings is in 5th-grade math, where 19.1% of students are proficient. This rate is higher than the district average (12.7%) and significantly outperforms every nearby peer, including Empowerment Academy (13.3%) and KIPP Harmony Academy (8.3%). However, this math strength drops sharply in 6th grade (1.4% proficiency), suggesting a possible transition challenge. In English Language Arts, the school’s overall proficiency (21.3%) is below the district average (32.9%), but 3rd-grade reading (36.1%) actually beats the district (31.0%), pointing to a strong early literacy program that struggles to sustain gains.

Wildwood also shows impressive efficiency and attendance engagement. It spends $21,396 per student—far less than nearby schools like Belmont Elementary ($31,890) or Edgewood Elementary ($37,324)—yet achieves comparable or better results. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 37.5% is notably lower than the district average (46.4%) and much better than peers like Beechfield Elementary/Middle (56.1%), despite serving a similarly high-poverty community. This suggests effective family engagement strategies that help keep students in class.
