Woodrow Wilson Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois middle schools, ranging from 623 to 985 out of 1,300+ schools over the past 10 years, and has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, indicating below-average performance compared to other Illinois middle schools. The school struggles to serve certain student subgroups effectively, ranking in the bottom 25% of Illinois middle schools for Asian, Hispanic, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. Woodrow Wilson Middle School has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.2% in 2019-2020 to 45.4% in 2020-2021, and remaining high at 31.8% in 2022-2023.

Compared to nearby schools, Woodrow Wilson Middle School performs significantly worse than the Riverdale Middle School, which is ranked in the top 25% of Illinois middle schools and has much higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school also lags behind the Orion Middle School, which is ranked in the top 25% of Illinois middle schools and has proficiency rates that are nearly double Woodrow Wilson's in both subject areas. Despite the increased per-student spending at Woodrow Wilson Middle School, from $10,190 in 2019-2020 to $13,441 in 2022-2023, the school continues to struggle with low proficiency rates and high chronic absenteeism, likely due to the high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, reaching 56.09% in 2022-2023.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
