Wiley Magnet Middle stands out for its diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 29.24% White, 36.05% African American, 26.84% Hispanic, 3.2% Asian, and 4.54% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in math, reading, and science, is consistently lower than the district and state averages. For example, in 2022-2023, Wiley's 8th-grade proficiency rates were 25.9% in math, 31.7% in reading, and 57.1% in science, compared to the district averages of 37.9%, 45.8%, and 62.8%, respectively. The school has also maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade and ranks in the bottom half of North Carolina middle schools.
Wiley Magnet Middle's academic performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. While White students perform relatively well, with a 2022-2023 ranking of 295 out of 656 in the state, other subgroups, such as Hispanic students (ranked 522 out of 553) and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (ranked 686 out of 735), perform much worse. This suggests that the school may face unique challenges in addressing the needs of its diverse student population, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds. Nearby schools, such as Meadowlark Middle and Clemmons Middle School, have significantly higher proficiency rates and statewide rankings, indicating that Wiley Magnet Middle may benefit from targeted interventions and support programs to improve student outcomes.
