Summary

Wilson Elementary is a public school serving 307 students in prekindergarten through sixth grade in Spokane’s 25th Avenue area and is part of the Spokane School District. It is one of the strongest elementary schools in the region, ranking 92nd out of 1,138 Washington schools in 2025–2026, or in the 92nd percentile, with a five-star rating. Wilson has earned five stars in every year shown, including a 97th-percentile ranking in 2024–2025.

Academic results are a major strength. In 2025–2026, 72.85% of students were proficient in English language arts, 79.05% in math, and 88.71% in science. These results were well above district and state averages and higher than every nearby school in the supplied comparison. For example, Hutton Elementary, the closest academic comparison, posted 65.69% in ELA, 67.36% in math, and 79.71% in science. Wilson’s fifth-grade results were especially strong, with 87.30% proficiency in ELA, 81.54% in math, and 88.71% in science. The school’s low-SES subgroup ranked in the 99th percentile statewide, suggesting strong results for economically disadvantaged students as well.

Parents should also consider the context behind the numbers. Wilson’s 18.57% free- or reduced-price lunch rate is lower than rates at most nearby schools, while its 14.3-to-1 student-teacher ratio and $19,525 per-student spending are fairly typical for the comparison group. Results declined from the 2024–2025 peak, particularly in ELA, but remain excellent overall. Third-grade ELA proficiency was 57.14%, compared with 87.30% in fifth grade, making earlier-grade performance worth monitoring. Third- and fourth-grade math results were suppressed by the state and should be treated as unavailable, not as zero or weak performance. Overall, Wilson combines sustained statewide success with particularly impressive math and science achievement.
