Wilson Preparatory Academy

Wilson Preparatory Academy is an active, independent public charter school district located at 2755 Tilghman Rd N in Wilson, North Carolina. Situated within a fringe town setting in the Wilson metropolitan area, this single-campus local educational agency offers a comprehensive educational continuum serving students from kindergarten all the way through 12th grade. Operating independently for Special Education (IDEA) governance, the academy provides families in the region with a continuous learning pathway housed within a single operational school setting.

During the 2024–2025 academic year, Wilson Preparatory Academy enrolled 725 students, comprising 392 male and 333 female pupils spread across elementary, middle, and high school grade levels. The student body reflects a diverse community, primarily composed of Black (566), Hispanic (65), multiracial (49), and White (39) students, alongside small Asian and American Indian representations. To foster learning across all 13 offered grade levels, the district maintains a dedicated workforce of 86 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff members, including 82 classroom teachers and four specialized support staff. With a low student-to-teacher ratio of roughly nine students per full-time educator, the academy is well-positioned to deliver individualized academic attention and targeted instructional support.
