Summary

Wilson Elementary is a top-ranked public elementary school (PK-6) serving 307 students in Spokane, Washington, and stands out as a consistent beacon of academic excellence within the Spokane School District.

The school's performance is exceptional, with over 80% of students proficient in English and Math, far exceeding both district and state averages. This high level of achievement has been remarkably consistent for over a decade, placing Wilson in the top 5% of all elementary schools in Washington. Notably, the school achieves these outstanding results with moderate per-student spending, demonstrating efficient and effective use of resources. Wilson also excels at supporting students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, ranking in the 99th percentile statewide for the performance of these students.

When compared to nearby schools, Wilson's advantage is substantial. For instance, its math proficiency is over 30 points higher than the district average, a larger gap than any other local school. While it is part of a small cluster of higher-performing schools like Hutton Elementary and Hamblen Elementary, it significantly outperforms others in the same district, such as Holmes Elementary and Grant Elementary, which have much lower test scores despite similar or higher levels of funding. This shows that Wilson's success is driven by factors beyond just financial resources.
