What stands out about Wilder District

  • Enrolment grew 21.6% here, from 542 students in FY2019 to 659 in FY2023, against a national picture where far more districts shrank than grew over the same period. Growth of this kind typically arrives before the funding that follows it, so per-pupil figures often dip while a district absorbs it.
