These schools serve students from grades K-12 and have demonstrated strong academic performance, with Wilson Middle/High School consistently ranking in the top 20% of New York high schools and Wilson Elementary School performing well above state averages on assessments.

Additionally, the significant difference in per-student spending between the middle/high school and elementary school ($34,536 vs. $19,796) may warrant further investigation to ensure equitable resource allocation across the district. Overall, the data suggests that the Wilson Central School District is providing a quality education to its students, with standout performance at both the elementary and middle/high school levels.
