Summary

Wilson Elementary is a PK-5 school in the San Antonio Independent School District (Isd) serving 359 students in a high-poverty community, where over 92% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has experienced a remarkable turnaround, rising from the 13th percentile statewide in 2021-2022 to the 60th percentile by 2025-2026, earning a 3-star rating for three consecutive years. This sustained improvement is the school's most defining characteristic, making it a standout success story within a district that ranks in the 18th percentile overall.

Wilson's math program is a clear strength, with 4th-grade math proficiency reaching 75.68% in 2025-2026—double the district average and significantly higher than the state average of 49.28%. This outperforms even nearby Franklin Elementary, a consistently high-performing school just 0.57 miles away, which achieved 63.41% in the same grade. Wilson also excels in serving its low-socioeconomic status students, ranking in the 73rd percentile statewide for this subgroup and earning a 4-star rating. Additionally, the school's Spanish-language assessments are notably strong, with 5th-grade reading proficiency at 70% compared to the district's 35.31% and state's 34.82%, suggesting a robust bilingual program.

While Wilson shines in many areas, there are some nuances. English proficiency drops in 5th grade, with reading at 39.22% and math at 41.18%, contrasting with the Spanish program's surge. The school also has room to improve for special education students (42nd percentile) and gifted and talented students (36th percentile). Compared to other nearby schools like Woodlawn Academy (9th percentile) and Rogers Academy (bottom 15%), Wilson's upward trajectory is unique. Its dramatic 47-percentile-point jump from a low point in 2021-2022 signals a fundamental shift in leadership and instruction that is delivering results for its community.
