Wilkins Elementary School is a public school in Jackson, Mississippi, that serves students in grades PK–5 in a mid-sized city. The school has about 315 students and a student-teacher ratio of 13:1, which is the same as the district average. There are 24 full-time equivalent teachers and one full-time school counselor who teach and help students. They offer both academic instruction and student services. Wilkins Elementary School uses a standards-based curriculum that focuses on basic math, reading, and writing skills. It also has extra help programs for students who need academic help. According to data from U.S. News, about 32% of students score at or above the proficient level in math and 22% meet proficiency standards in reading and English language arts. This shows that there are areas that need to be improved along with core instruction. The majority of students are minorities, and there are equal numbers of boys and girls (51% girls and 49% boys). The school only accepts students who are economically disadvantaged, which reflects the socioeconomic situation in the area. The amount of money spent on each student at the district level is in line with what Mississippi public schools usually get.
