Wilkerson Int, The Woodlands TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Wilkerson Int

Wilkerson Intermediate is a public middle school in Conroe ISD serving fifth and sixth grades in The Woodlands. It enrolls roughly mid-sized cohorts of students, with comparable numbers in each grade. The student body reflects significant economic and ethnic diversity: a substantial majority qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and enrollment spans roughly equal shares of Hispanic and white students, with meaningful representation of Black and Asian students as well.

The school's academic performance sits squarely in the middle of the school's tested range. In English and language arts, student proficiency rates are consistent across both grades, with roughly four in five students reaching the "approaches" level (the baseline) and about three in five meeting the higher proficiency threshold. Math performance is somewhat lower: the proficiency rate for students reaching or exceeding the standard is about halfway there in fifth grade and gains a few points in sixth grade. Across all tested subjects together, the school's overall proficiency index falls above the midpoint among the districts in Montgomery County, placing it in the stronger half of its peer group locally.

Science results are notably sparse and drawn from a very small tested population, so they do not represent the full picture of science instruction at the school. In the broader trend data, Wilkerson shows that across all subjects, roughly four out of five students approach proficiency, but only about a third reach the "masters" level, indicating a concentration of students performing at the meets-standard mark rather than at the highest tier.

The school sits on Sawmill Road in The Woodlands, a large master-planned suburban community anchored by corporate energy and healthcare presences. The area offers the infrastructure of a mature residential suburb: extensive parks and hike-and-bike trails, a regional library, a free town trolley, and a growing mixed-use downtown district called the Town Center. The Woodlands is near buildout but continues selective apartment and mixed-use infill development. Median home values in the school's zip code are well above the state average, and rents have edged down slightly year over year. A family moving into the area would face above-national-average housing affordability, though the district itself maintains one of the lower property tax rates in the Houston metro and has held its combined rate flat for two consecutive years.

Conroe ISD has embarked on major capacity expansion driven by sustained enrollment growth. A bond approved in November 2023 funds eight new schools and campus additions across the district, locking in years of construction that will reshape where students are zoned. For 2025-26, the district adopted a Bible-infused state-developed curriculum for English and language arts in early grades, a change that drew organized community opposition and is worth discussing with the school directly if curriculum approach matters to your family. The district is adding enough students annually to make school configuration and zoning an ongoing conversation; a parent may want to look into the school's and district's near-term plans if continuity of placement or pathway matters to your decision.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
