Summary

Wilde Elementary School in Warren, MI, is a PK-5 school within the Warren Consolidated Schools district, serving 496 students in a community where just over half of families qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Wilde stands out for its remarkable success with African American students, ranking in the 85th percentile statewide for this group—a stark contrast to its overall mid-range performance. The school also shines in 4th grade, where proficiency in both English Language Arts (50%) and Math (48.8%) significantly outpaces district and state averages. Perhaps most impressive is the school's low chronic absenteeism rate of 17.3%, dramatically better than the district average of 34.4% and the state average of 27.9%. This rate has steadily improved from a high of 32.1% just a few years ago, suggesting a positive school climate and strong family engagement. However, parents should be aware of some challenges: 3rd-grade reading proficiency has dropped to 23.1%, well below state averages, and 5th-grade scores show a notable decline from the 4th-grade peak, particularly in math (25.6% vs. 48.8% in 4th grade). Social studies proficiency in 5th grade remains persistently low at just 11.6%.

Compared to nearby schools, Wilde outperforms Black Elementary School in its own district and has significantly better attendance. However, it lags behind Pinewood Elementary School in the neighboring Warren Woods Public Schools district, which shows stronger math scores across all grades. Notably, Wilde spends more per student ($20,230) than Pinewood ($17,412) or Mark Twain Elementary School ($14,878), yet this higher investment doesn't consistently translate to higher test scores—a factor worth considering when evaluating the school's overall value.
