Summary:
The city of Wyoming, Michigan is home to 20 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 11 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 5 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and struggling schools, with stark disparities in academic achievement, student demographics, and other key metrics across the district.
Among the standout schools is Vanguard Charter Academy, a public charter elementary/middle school that ranks 163 out of 1,470 Michigan elementary schools and has a 4-star rating. It boasts strong academic performance, with 75.6% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA and 76.7% proficient in math, well above the state averages. Another high-performing school is Grandville Century Park Learning Center, a public elementary school that ranks 245 out of 1,470 Michigan elementary schools and also has a 4-star rating, with high proficiency rates in ELA and math.
In contrast, schools like Vestaburg Community Alternative Education School struggle, with a graduation rate of just 38.1% and an alarming chronic absenteeism rate of 94.3%. Many of the schools in the Wyoming Public Schools district serve high-need populations, with some schools reporting over 95% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing these disparities and providing equitable educational opportunities will be a key challenge for the district moving forward.
