Summary

Wilson Elementary is a public school in Fishersville, Virginia, serving 655 students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade as part of Augusta County Public Schools. In the 2025-2026 school year, the school's overall ranking fell sharply to the 22nd percentile statewide (871st of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools), down from the 40th percentile the year before — making it the lowest-ranked school among its Augusta County peers, including Guy K. Stump Elementary, Stuarts Draft Elementary, and Cassell Elementary.

Wilson's reading and math SOL scores trail both district and state averages at every grade level tested. For example, 5th grade math proficiency dropped 21 points in a single year, from 77.5% to 56.1%, and 5th grade reading fell 16 points to 54.6%. The school does have relative bright spots: 5th grade science (68.2% proficient) tops the district average, and 4th grade Virginia Studies (70.7%) came in above both district and state averages — actually the highest among the four Augusta County elementaries in this comparison.

Wilson serves a high-poverty population — 82% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch in 2024-2025, up sharply from 65% the year before. It also spends less per student ($7,959) than every nearby school in this comparison, despite being the largest. Chronic absenteeism, however, is a genuine strength: at 12.2%, it beats both the district and state averages. Notably, nearby schools with similar poverty rates — such as Thomas C. McSwain Elementary (80th percentile) and Arthur R. Ware Elementary (70th percentile) in Staunton City Public Schools — perform far better, suggesting Wilson has meaningful room for growth with additional resources and targeted supports.
