Summary

Woodrow Wilson Middle is a public middle school serving about 1,180 students in grades 6-8 within the generally strong Glendale Unified School District, performing solidly near state averages in core subjects.

The school shows particular strength in supporting vulnerable student groups, ranking in the 80th to 88th percentiles statewide for students from low-income families, those experiencing homelessness, and English learners. While its academic scores are similar to or better than many nearby schools in other districts, there is a notable performance gap within Glendale Unified when compared to the top-performing Rosemont Middle. Wilson Middle has shown a positive recent trend, improving its statewide ranking and significantly reducing chronic student absenteeism over the past few years.

It's helpful to understand Wilson as a traditional, comprehensive school, unlike some higher-performing nearby magnet schools like Thomas Starr King Middle School Film and Media Magnet. The school's per-student spending is mid-range compared to others, and its improving attendance rates appear connected to its academic gains. For families, Wilson Middle represents a school that is effectively serving a diverse community and showing measurable improvement.
