Summary

Vick Elementary is a public elementary school in Wilson, North Carolina, serving 326 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Wilson County Schools district, which is ranked 93 out of 242 districts in the state.

Vick Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of North Carolina elementary schools, with significantly lower academic performance on state standardized tests compared to the district and state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 26.6% of 3rd graders at Vick Elementary were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 68.9% for the Wilson County Schools district and 64.1% for the state. The school also has a high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds, with 98.47% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.

Interestingly, nearby schools in the Wilson County Schools district, such as Lucama Elementary, Gardners Elementary, and New Hope Elementary, significantly outperform Vick Elementary on academic measures, with much higher proficiency rates on state tests.
