Wyoming High School

Summary:

Wyoming High School is a public high school located in Wyoming, Michigan, serving 1,284 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Grand Rapids Public Schools district, which is ranked 498 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wyoming High School faces significant challenges compared to other schools in Michigan. The school has a much higher percentage of Hispanic students (51.09%) and a lower percentage of White students (25.55%) than the state average. Academically, Wyoming High School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Michigan high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's rankings for specific student subgroups, such as female, male, African American, Hispanic, and multi-racial students, are also concerning, suggesting significant achievement gaps. Additionally, the school's graduation rate has declined from 84.9% in 2019-2020 to 79.2% in 2022-2023, which is lower than the state average, and its dropout rate has increased from 4.3% to 6.6% over the same period, higher than the state average.

When comparing Wyoming High School to nearby schools, such as Kelloggsville High School, it becomes clear that the school is struggling. Kelloggsville High School, which is only 2.79 miles away, outperforms Wyoming High School in several key metrics, including graduation rates, dropout rates, and academic performance. This suggests that the challenges faced by Wyoming High School are not solely due to the demographics of the student population, but rather a reflection of the school's overall performance and the need for significant improvement efforts.

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.
