Summary

Woodrow Wilson Middle School is a grades 6–8 public middle school in Terre Haute, Indiana, serving 686 students as part of the Vigo County School Corp. In 2025–26, it ranked 252 of 486 Indiana schools (48th percentile, 2 stars), placing it above its district’s overall 28th-percentile standing but still in the middle range statewide. Its recent trend is encouraging: the school rose from the 36th percentile in 2020–21 and 2024–25 to 48th percentile in 2025–26, its highest since 2018–19.

Academically, Woodrow Wilson Middle School’s 2025–26 ILEARN all-grade proficiency rates were 34.04% in English language arts, 31.52% in math, and 35.63% in science. That is above the district average in ELA and science but slightly below in math. Compared with nearby schools, it outperformed West Vigo Middle School, Otter Creek Middle School, and Sarah Scott Middle School in all three subjects, but trailed Honey Creek Middle School, South Vermillion Middle School, and North Clay Middle School. A key bright spot was science, which rose from 25.37% in 2024–25 to 35.63% in 2025–26. A clear weak spot is 7th grade: ELA was 26.34% and math 25.49%, both below state levels, while 8th grade was stronger.

Chronic absenteeism is one of the biggest challenges: 30.0% in 2024–25, above the district’s 27.4% and nearly double the state’s 16.7%. It is higher than West Vigo Middle School and Honey Creek Middle School (both 20.4%), similar to Otter Creek Middle School (30.5%), and much lower than Sarah Scott Middle School (44.3%). Poverty is also high, with 65.16% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch, though the school still outperforms similarly high-poverty same-district peers. Spending was $10,831 per student and the student–teacher ratio was 12.9. Overall, Woodrow Wilson Middle School is a mid-pack local school with a recent academic upswing; its biggest opportunities are reducing absenteeism and targeting 7th grade ELA/math while maintaining gains in ELA and science.
