Woodrow Wilson School

Summary:

Woodrow Wilson School is a public middle school in Wyandotte, Michigan, serving 889 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Wyandotte School District of the City of, which is ranked 394 out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Woodrow Wilson School faces significant challenges, with a student population that is predominantly White (72.22%) compared to surrounding schools, and consistently ranking in the bottom half of Michigan middle schools on state assessments. The school has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 5.1% to 47.8% over the past few years, and a relatively high percentage of students (60.18%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. While the school has seen increased per-student spending, from $13,264 in 2019-2020 to $17,743 in 2022-2023, this has not yet translated into meaningful improvements in academic outcomes.

Compared to nearby middle schools, such as Seitz Middle School, Allen Park Middle School, and Julian O Strong Middle School, Woodrow Wilson School's performance is generally lower, with these schools tending to have higher academic achievement, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and more diverse student populations. Addressing the root causes of Woodrow Wilson School's struggles, such as chronic absenteeism and supporting students from disadvantaged backgrounds, may be crucial in driving positive change and better preparing students for success.

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.
