Wyandot Middle School

Summary:

Wyandot Middle School is a public magnet middle school serving 848 students in grades 6-8 in Clinton Township, Michigan, which is part of the Chippewa Valley Schools district. While the district is ranked 221 out of 610 districts in the state, Wyandot Middle School faces several challenges, including declining academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and uneven student group outcomes.

Academically, Wyandot Middle School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math for 6th and 7th grades are 3-6 percentage points lower than the district and state averages. The school has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 14.7% in 2018-2019 to 29.4% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking in the top half of Michigan middle schools for African American and Hispanic students, but in the bottom half for English Language Learners, Special Education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

When compared to nearby middle schools, Wyandot Middle School's performance is mixed. While it outperforms some schools, such as Clintondale Middle School and Mount Clemens Middle School, which serve higher-need student populations, it lags behind higher-performing schools like Seneca Middle School and Bemis Junior High School in academic achievement and student group performance. These nearby schools with stronger academic performance tend to have lower chronic absenteeism rates and serve student populations with lower percentages of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

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.
