Wilkerson Elementary School faces significant challenges in academic performance, particularly in core subject areas and for certain student subgroups. The school's academic performance, as measured by M-Step test scores, is generally below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 30.3%, compared to 32.8% for the district and 38.9% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low in 5th-grade Math (28.8% proficient) and Social Studies (22.7% proficient), which are significantly below the district and state averages. Additionally, Wilkerson Elementary School has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.6% to 36.8% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the state average.

While Wilkerson Elementary School's performance is generally lower than the nearby Black Elementary School and Cromie Elementary School, which have higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates, the school outperforms some of the charter schools in the area, such as Frontier International Academy Elementary and Michigan Mathematics and Science Academy Lorraine, which have even lower academic achievement and higher chronic absenteeism. Despite the school's relatively low performance, Wilkerson Elementary School spends a relatively high amount per student, with a per-student expenditure of $17,230 in the 2023-2024 school year, suggesting that the school may be facing challenges in effectively utilizing its resources to improve student outcomes.
