Summary

Wilson Elementary in Lubbock, TX, is a high-performing public school serving 557 students from Pre-K through 5th grade, and it stands out as a top-tier option within the Lubbock Independent School District (Isd). Consistently ranking in the top 10% of all Texas elementary schools over the past decade, Wilson has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for four of the last five years. Its academic excellence is clear: in the 2025-2026 school year, it ranked 401st out of 4,627 Texas elementary schools (91st percentile), a full 50 percentile points higher than its closest comparable neighbor, Ramirez Elementary. Nearby schools like Bean Elementary, Maedgen Elementary, and McWhorter Elementary rank in the bottom 40% of Texas schools, highlighting a stark educational disparity within a small geographic area.

Wilson’s test scores are exceptionally high, often 20-30 percentage points above district and state averages. For example, in reading, 70-78% of students scored proficient compared to the district average of about 53%, and in math, 64-76% were proficient versus the district average of 46%. The school is particularly effective with key student groups, ranking in the top 10-15% of the state for White students, Special Education students, and Male students. Even its economically disadvantaged students perform well above the state average, ranking in the 88th percentile, which shows the school adds significant value beyond its student demographics. However, a notable weakness is its performance with Gifted and Talented students, who ranked in only the 38th percentile in 2025-2026, a sharp drop from 77th percentile three years prior, suggesting the school may not be adequately challenging its highest-achieving learners.

Wilson’s student population is notably less economically disadvantaged than its neighbors, with only 26% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, compared to over 80% at nearby schools like Parsons Elementary, Brown Elementary, Wheelock Elementary, and Overton Elementary. While this affluence advantage is a factor, Wilson’s per-student spending ($12,266) is higher than some peers but lower than the lowest-performing schools, indicating that effective resource allocation and a supportive community drive its success. For parents, Wilson offers a proven track record of academic excellence, but those with gifted children may want to investigate how the school supports advanced learners.
