Wilson Elementary School

Q: Is Wilson Elementary School a good school?

Wilson Elementary School ranks 251 st of 389 Oklahoma elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Wilson Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 239 students in grades PK-5 in Norman, Oklahoma. Despite serving a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 82.01% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Wilson Elementary consistently outperforms the Norman and Oklahoma state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across grades 3-5.

In 2023-2024, 66% of 3rd graders at Wilson Elementary were proficient in ELA, compared to 57% in Norman and 51% statewide. In Math, 50% of Wilson's 3rd graders were proficient, compared to 46% in Norman and 38% statewide. This strong academic performance is particularly noteworthy given that Eisenhower, Jefferson, and Adams Elementary schools in the district also serve a significant number of low-income students, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 55% to 91%.

While Wilson Elementary spends $9,831 per student, which is higher than the spending at some nearby schools, the district as a whole appears to have uneven funding distribution, as evidenced by the significant differences in per-student spending across the schools. This suggests that the Norman School District could benefit from further analysis and targeted interventions to ensure all students have access to high-quality educational opportunities, regardless of their socioeconomic background.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
