Summary

Wilson Middle/High School is a public school serving 494 students in grades 6-12 in the Wilson Central School District in Wilson, New York. The school has consistently ranked in the top 20% of New York high schools over the past decade, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wilson Middle/High School students consistently outperform the state and district averages on a variety of academic measures, including Regents exams and state assessments. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school had significantly higher proficiency rates than the state in subjects like Chemistry (87.1% vs. 64.53%), Common Core Algebra II (72.88% vs. 74.88%), and Common Core English Language Arts (88.57% vs. 75.29%). The school also performs exceptionally well for certain student subgroups, ranking in the top 10% of New York high schools for special education students and low socioeconomic status students. Additionally, the school has maintained a strong 4-year graduation rate, ranging from 83.5% to 89.1% over the past few years, which is on par with or better than the state average.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Niagara Falls High School, Wilson Middle/High School generally outperforms its peers on academic measures, particularly in Regents exam proficiency rates. The school's strong performance for low socioeconomic status students is noteworthy, as it suggests that the school is effectively supporting and meeting the needs of this population. However, the school's fluctuating chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.5% to 34.1%, are an area of concern that the school and district should address to ensure all students are consistently attending and engaged.
