Geo T Wilkins Junior High School's academic proficiency rates in ELA and Math are on par with or slightly above the district averages, but fall short of the state averages, particularly in Science. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% is notably higher than the state average, which could be an area of concern. The school's relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 57.32% suggests a student population with significant economic challenges, which may impact academic outcomes and require additional support and resources.

Overall, Geo T Wilkins Junior High School appears to be a middle-performing school within its district and the state, with some areas of strength and some areas that could benefit from further improvement and support.
