Summary

Wilson Elementary is a K–5 school serving 576 students in Anoka, Minnesota, part of the Anoka-Hennepin School District — the largest district in the comparison set — and it has been a steady middle-of-the-pack performer, ranking at the 45th percentile statewide in 2025-26 and landing in the 40s–50s for most of the past decade.

Math is Wilson's relative strength: 50.4% of students met standards, about 5.5 points above the state and essentially level with the district. Reading is the clear weak spot at 41.1%, nearly 10 points behind the district and 7.5 below the state — a gap that tripled in a single year. The trouble is concentrated in grades 3 and 4, where reading sits roughly 12–14 points below the state, while 5th grade is at or above state in all three subjects. Science (28.0%) is above both the state and district average but has swung widely: 51.7% two years ago, 20% last year, 28% now.

Wilson's results for English learners have been notably strong — 75th percentile or better for three straight years — and low-income students also consistently score above the school's overall standing. Special education students rank lower, in the 20th–38th percentile range. Among nearby schools, Andover Elementary (95th percentile), Dayton Elementary (66th) and Crooked Lake Elementary (61st) post stronger results, while Ramsey Elementary, Lincoln Elementary School for Arts and Morris Bye Elementary rank below Wilson. Wilson's poverty rate (48%) is mid-pack among these schools, and its student-teacher ratio (14.2) is similar to peers, so neither explains its position.
