Summary:
The Wyandotte School District of the City of has only one middle school, Woodrow Wilson School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority of White students (72.22%) and significant Hispanic (18.56%) and African American (4.72%) representation. However, Woodrow Wilson School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Michigan middle schools, receiving a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.
Academically, Woodrow Wilson School's performance is generally below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates in M-Step/English Language Arts, M-Step/Math, and M-Step/Science significantly lower than the state averages. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 35.2% and a relatively high percentage of students (60.18%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the higher-than-average spending per student ($17,743) and a student-teacher ratio of 20.6, which is slightly higher than the recommended ratio for middle schools, Woodrow Wilson School's academic performance remains below state standards. This suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and implement targeted interventions to address the specific needs of its student population, particularly in addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and supporting students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
