Wilbur School District

Wilbur School District serves 226 students across two small schools in the Wilbur area: Wilbur Elementary School serves kindergarten through sixth grade, while Wilbur Secondary School serves grades 7–12. Enrollment is nearly evenly divided, with 117 students at the elementary school and 109 at the secondary school.

For parents comparing the schools, Wilbur Secondary School currently has the stronger overall position, ranking in the 58th statewide percentile compared with the elementary school’s 37th percentile. Its 2025–2026 proficiency rates were 50% in English language arts and 43.14% in math, exceeding district results and nearly matching or matching state performance. The secondary school also improved in every tested subject, with math rising nearly 20 percentage points. Science remains a concern at 37.14%, below the state. Eighth grade is the clearest academic challenge, with only 30% proficient in ELA and 26.32% in math, despite stronger seventh-grade results.

Wilbur Elementary School has important strengths but more uneven recent results. Its science proficiency was 46.15%, higher than the district’s result and close to the state, while third-grade math was a standout at 64.71%, above the state rate. However, overall ELA was 27.54% and math was 33.33%, both below district and state results; fourth-grade ELA and fifth-grade math were especially weak. Elementary science improved substantially year over year, but ELA and math declined. Both schools offer small class environments, student-teacher ratios near 11-to-1, and similar per-student spending, while meal-assistance rates indicate that many families may benefit from school support services. Because enrollment and grade-level cohorts are small, annual results may fluctuate, and suppressed scores should be treated as unavailable rather than low.
