Summary

Wildwood Elementary School is a Pre-K–5 school in Federal Way, Washington, serving 598 students in the Federal Way School District and competing with several nearby elementary schools for comparison. The school serves a high-need community, with 79.1% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, but has favorable staffing resources, including a 15.5-to-1 student-teacher ratio and relatively high per-student spending. Its latest statewide standing was the 32nd percentile, or 770th of 1,138 elementary schools, a substantial improvement from the 5th percentile in 2022–23.

Math is Wildwood Elementary School’s clearest academic strength. Its 40.31% math proficiency rate was 13.20 percentage points above the Federal Way School District average and close to the Washington average. It also exceeded nearby Meredith Hill Elementary School, Lake Dolloff Elementary School, Lake Grove Elementary School, Mark Twain Elementary School, and Mirror Lake Elementary School. However, fifth-grade math was much weaker than third- and fourth-grade math. ELA improved sharply to 40.70%, slightly above the district average, while science was the main weakness at 29.63%, below both district and state results.

The school’s recent progress is encouraging: ELA rose 10.53 points in one year, math rose 7.70 points, and several subgroup effectiveness measures improved. Special education students ranked at the 61st percentile statewide, while Hispanic, English learner, and low-SES subgroup results also strengthened. For local perspective, Meredith Hill Elementary School had a nearly identical overall ranking, while higher-performing Nautilus K-8 School, Camelot Elementary School, and Evergreen Heights Elementary remain important benchmarks. Overall, Wildwood Elementary School appears to be moving upward, with science, fifth-grade math, and fifth-grade ELA as the main priorities.
