Summary

Wilson Elementary is a PK–5 school in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, serving 472 students—the largest enrollment among the nearby Sheboygan Area School District elementary schools in this comparison. It belongs to the Sheboygan Area School District, which ranks 343rd of 432 Wisconsin districts (21st percentile, 1 star), but Wilson itself ranks above that district context: 601st of 1,039 state elementary schools in 2025–2026 (42nd percentile, 2 stars), up from 1 star in 2017–2018 and down from 3 stars in 2022–2025. About 70.76% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025, up sharply from 56.5% the prior year, and per-student spending was $14,641 with a 13.6:1 student-teacher ratio.

Two areas stand out most. Math is Wilson's signature strength: on the 2025–2026 Forward Exam, every tested grade beat both district and state averages—58.11% in 3rd grade, 63.86% in 4th, and 52.27% in 5th, following even higher marks in 2024–2025. Attendance is the other standout. Wilson's chronic absenteeism was 7.8% in 2024–2025, versus 21.5% across the district and 17.3% statewide, and it is the lowest among nearby district elementaries such as Sheridan Elementary (31.5%), Grant Elementary (25.4%), and Jefferson Elementary (20.2%). Only Sheboygan Falls Elementary (4.5%) and Kohler Elementary (2.9%) posted lower rates.

There are watch areas too. ELA was above the district in 3rd and 4th grade in 2025–2026 but below state in all three grades, and 4th-grade social studies (54.22%) and science (46.99%) trailed state benchmarks, while Jackson Elementary scored 74.55% and 67.27% in those subjects. Subgroup results are uneven: Wilson ranks in the top fifth of comparable Wisconsin schools for English Language Learner students, but in the bottom quartile for special education students, and its low-income subgroup slipped from the 75th to the 51st percentile. Notably, Wilson spends less per student than most nearby district schools—including Longfellow Elementary ($19,782) and Jefferson Elementary ($19,607)—yet often outperforms them, a sign it does a lot with leaner resources.
