Summary

Wildwood Elementary School is a public PK-5 school serving 598 students in the Federal Way School District, which faces district-wide academic challenges, and the school itself has consistently ranked in the lower tiers statewide, earning a 1-star rating for the 2024-2025 year.

Academically, Wildwood's test scores are below state averages, though it shows a relative strength in math where it outperforms the district average, particularly in 3rd and 4th grades. The school serves a high-need population, with over 79% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and it has shown recent improvement in supporting these students. Interestingly, Wildwood operates with one of the highest per-student spending levels and lowest student-teacher ratios among nearby schools, yet these resources have not yet translated to top-tier academic results compared to some peers.

When looking at nearby schools, Wildwood performs better than some, like Mark Twain Elementary School and Mirror Lake Elementary School, but lags behind higher-performing schools in the same district such as Nautilus K-8 School and Camelot Elementary School, which achieve better results with similar or fewer resources. A notable comparison is Evergreen Heights Elementary in the neighboring Auburn School District, which dramatically outperforms all Federal Way schools in this analysis, highlighting significant differences between the two districts.
