Wilson Middle

Summary:

Wilson Middle is a public middle school located in Fishersville, Virginia, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 632 students. The school is part of the Augusta County Public Schools district, which is ranked 64 out of 130 school districts in Virginia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wilson Middle has a higher percentage of white students (79.27%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 48.14% to 88.61% white students. The school's African American (5.7%) and Hispanic (6.65%) student populations are also lower than some of the surrounding schools. Academically, Wilson Middle consistently ranks in the middle range of Virginia middle schools, with some notable strengths and areas for improvement. The school's students perform exceptionally well on the Algebra I SOL, with 100% proficiency in the past two years, compared to the district and state averages of around 90-99%. However, the school's mathematics performance is uneven, with 6th and 8th grade students performing below the district and state averages, while 7th grade students perform slightly better. Additionally, while the school's African American and Hispanic students generally perform better than the overall school performance, the white and multi-racial students perform significantly worse, ranking in the bottom quarter to bottom third of Virginia middle schools.

When compared to nearby schools, Wilson Middle generally performs on par or slightly below the other Augusta County Public Schools, but significantly below the higher-performing Albemarle County and Staunton City schools. Addressing the racial disparities in student performance, strengthening the mathematics curriculum and instruction, and learning from the practices of higher-performing nearby schools could be valuable next steps for Wilson Middle to improve its overall performance.

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.
