Washtenaw International Middle Academy

Q: Is Washtenaw International Middle Academy a good school?

Washtenaw International Middle Academy ranks 289 th of 897 Michigan middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Washtenaw International Middle Academy is a public middle school in Ypsilanti, Michigan, serving 192 students in grades 6-8. Despite being part of the lower-performing Ypsilanti Community Schools district, this school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in academic proficiency, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

The school's diverse student population, with 40.1% White, 29.17% African American, 14.58% Hispanic, and 2.6% Asian students, is a key strength. Notably, the academic performance of African American and Hispanic students at Washtenaw International Middle Academy exceeds the district and state averages. Additionally, the school effectively supports students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 43.23% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

While Washtenaw International Middle Academy outperforms the nearby Ypsilanti Community Middle School, its ranking has declined in recent years, dropping from 72nd out of 919 Michigan middle schools in 2014-2015 to 289th out of 897 in 2023-2024. This trend, coupled with a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 5.7% in 2018-2019 to 57.5% in 2022-2023, suggests areas for improvement. However, the school's performance remains strong compared to the district and state, and it continues to be a better option for families in the Ypsilanti area than some of the lower-performing local alternatives.

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.
