Summary

Educational Wilson Elementary in Forney, TX, serves 786 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 4th grade within the Forney Independent School District (Isd), where just over half of the student body qualifies for free or reduced lunch.

This school presents a fascinating story of contrasts. While its overall performance is average, it has achieved remarkable success with its African American students, ranking in the 94th percentile statewide—a 5-star rating that places it among the top 6% of all Texas elementary schools for this group. This is a standout achievement, especially when compared to nearby schools like Amy Parks-Heath Elementary in the Rockwall Independent School District (Isd) or Claybon Elementary, which do not match this level of performance for this demographic. The school also showed impressive academic improvement between the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 school years, with 4th-grade math proficiency jumping from 39% to 61% and reading proficiency rising from 58% to 69%. However, the most recent data (2025-2026) shows a decline in some areas, particularly math, which is worth monitoring.

One notable challenge is the school's high student-to-teacher ratio of 17.4, the highest among comparable schools in the district, which may contribute to larger class sizes. Additionally, while the school excels for African American students, it struggles with other subgroups, such as special education students (24th percentile) and Hispanic students (32nd percentile). On a positive note, the bilingual program is a hidden strength, with Spanish-language STAAR reading scores significantly outpacing the state average. For families prioritizing a school that has demonstrated exceptional outcomes for African American students, Wilson Elementary offers a uniquely valuable option in the Forney area.
