Summary:
The city of Wayne, Michigan is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. While some schools, like Wayne Memorial High School, show relatively better outcomes, the majority of schools in the Wayne-Westland Community School District face significant challenges, particularly in areas of academic achievement, graduation rates, and socioeconomic factors.
The data reveals stark disparities in school performance, with WayneWestland Innovative Academy struggling the most, having the lowest graduation rate at 31.4% and the highest dropout rate at 21.3%. This high school also has significantly lower test scores compared to the district and state averages. Similarly, the two elementary schools, RooseveltMcGrath Elementary School and TaftGalloway Elementary School, rank in the bottom 15% of Michigan elementary schools and have high chronic absenteeism rates.
The data suggests a correlation between socioeconomic factors and school performance, with the schools serving the highest percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch generally performing the worst across various metrics. This highlights the need for targeted interventions and a comprehensive approach to address the systemic issues within the Wayne-Westland Community School District and support the academic and social-emotional needs of all students.
