Wyoming Junior High School

Summary:

Wyoming Junior High School is a public middle school serving grades 7-8 in Wyoming, Michigan, with a diverse student population of around 800 students. The school is part of the Wyoming Public Schools district, which is ranked 498 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school has a relatively high per-student spending of $16,482, its academic performance is consistently below the state and district averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 24% of 7th-grade students were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 37.9%. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students, as well as students with low socioeconomic status, tending to perform much lower than their White and more affluent peers. Additionally, Wyoming Junior High School has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 13.2% in 2019-2020 to 50.0% in 2022-2023, which is a concerning trend linked to lower academic performance.

When compared to other nearby middle schools, such as Grandville Middle School, which is just 2.63 miles away, Wyoming Junior High School generally underperforms, with significantly higher test scores and a much lower chronic absenteeism rate. While the current performance of Wyoming Junior High School is concerning, the data suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement through targeted interventions and a focus on addressing the unique needs of the school's diverse population.

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.
