Middle Schools in Wyoming Public Schools

The Wyoming Public Schools district in Michigan is home to two middle schools, Wyoming Junior High School and Wyoming Intermediate, both serving students in grades 6-8. While the schools have a diverse student population, they face significant challenges, including consistently low test scores, high rates of chronic absenteeism, and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Neither school stands out as a clear performer, with both institutions scoring well below the state averages on M-Step and PSAT assessments across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 7th grade M-Step English Language Arts, Wyoming Junior High School scored 24% proficient or better, compared to the state average of 37.9%. Similarly, in 8th grade PSAT Mathematics, Wyoming Junior High School scored 14.8% proficient or better, compared to the state average of 32.6%. The high chronic absenteeism rates, particularly the 50% rate at Wyoming Junior High School, are also concerning and likely contribute to the low academic performance.

The data suggests that the middle schools in the Wyoming Public Schools district are facing significant challenges in terms of student performance, attendance, and socioeconomic factors. With over 86% of students at both schools receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the schools serve a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may impact student learning and achievement. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve educational outcomes for the students.
