===Public participation in board meetings===
The Wilson County school board maintains the following policy on public testimony during board meetings:
{{Quote|The Board encourages communication with the public and cooperative school-community interactions, believing that an informed public and an informed Board will result in a better system of public education.  Accordingly, the Board welcomes and encourages input from any interested citizen who desires to appear before the Board for the purpose of presenting information or raising matters relating to the public schools.  In addition to other methods by which members of the public may bring matters of interest to the attention of the Board, time will be set aside as a part of the Board's regular meeting agenda for the specific purpose of allowing members of the public to address the Board.  The purpose of this time is for the Board to hear matters of interest from the public; therefore, dialogue between the speaker and Board members will not be allowed.  However, Board members may ask clarifying questions.  To facilitate this communication and to plan and conduct orderly sessions that will ensure complete, high quality information is available regarding the subject of such appearances, it is necessary that certain guide lines contained in this policy be followed.
'''1326.1'''  Citizens are advised that, in addition to the methods provided in this policy, they may request that an item be considered to be placed on the Board agenda by contacting the Superintendent in accordance with Board Policy 1321.<br>
'''1326.2'''  Discussions regarding particular individual employees, litigation, student records, or other matters which may be required to be kept confidential shall not be discussed in the public address setting.  The Chairman will have the responsibility to determine matters of discussion that may be inappropriate and to rule the speaker out of order, if necessary.<br>
'''1326.3''' The Board agenda will include an item titled “Discussion of Public Input” at which time the Board will discuss issues raised in the public input portion of the meeting.  The Board may take action to resolve the issue or consider which of these actions is the most appropriate method of addressing the concerns raised by members of the public who have addressed the Board.  The Board may<br>
::1. direct the Chairman to respond to the concern on behalf of the Board,
::2. direct the Administration to respond to the concern,
::3. refer the matter to a Board committee,
::4. refer the matter to the Administration,
::5. or place the matter of concern on the agenda for a future meeting.
If the matter is presently under review by the Administration, then the Chairman may defer the individual’s appearance to the next Board meeting.<br>
'''1326.4'''  A file of the written response to all persons speaking to the Board shall be maintained in the Superintendent’s Office and all members of the Board of Education shall receive a copy of the written response.  Written responses that relate to general policies or practices of the school system may also be posted on the school system’s website, at the direction of the Superintendent.  The Superintendent may also include in his report to the Board at the next meeting any commentary or response he deems appropriate on matters involving general policies or practices of the school system.<br>
'''1326.5'''  Any person who desires to appear before the Board may sign up to do so prior to the Board meeting and supply the following information:<br>
::a. The name and address of the person who desires to appear.
::b. The subject to be presented for the Board's consideration.
::c. The name of the group being represented, if any.<br>
'''1326.6'''  Presentations will be limited to three minutes per person.  An organization or delegation representing the same concern is encouraged to select one individual to make a presentation on its behalf.|author=Wilson County Schools website (2010)<ref>[http://policy.microscribepub.com/cgi-bin/om_isapi.dll?clientID=1104862349&depth=8&infobase=wilson.nfo&record={133}&softpage=PL_frame ''Wilson County Schools,'' "School Board Policies," accessed February 18, 2016]</ref>

Academic performance

Each year, state and local education agencies use tests and other standards to assess student proficiency. Although the data below was published by the U.S. Department of Education, proficiency measurements are established by the states. As a result, proficiency levels are not comparable between different states and year-over-year proficiency levels within a district may not be comparable because states may change their proficiency measurements. To protect student privacy, percentages are reported as ranges for groups of 300 students or fewer. If five or fewer students were included in a data set, the data will display as "PS."[2]

The following table shows the percentage of district students who scored at or above the proficiency level each school year:

School year All (%) Asian/Pacific Islander (%) Black (%) Hispanic (%) Native American (%) Two or More Races (%) White (%)
2021-2022 47 70-79 33 50 >=50 45-49 67
