Summary

Wildewood Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Ralston, Nebraska, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 302 students. The school is part of the Ralston Public Schools district, which is ranked 92 out of 115 districts in Nebraska and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wildewood Elementary faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, lower test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages, and a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Nebraska elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, the nearby Seymour Elementary and Meadows Elementary schools, which are also part of the Ralston Public Schools district, generally outperform Wildewood Elementary in these areas.

Wildewood Elementary's performance appears to have declined over the past few years, with lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to earlier years. The school and Ralston Public Schools district should closely examine the factors contributing to these issues and implement targeted interventions to address the underlying problems and improve student outcomes.
