Wayne-Westland Community School District

Summary:

The Wayne-Westland Community School District in Michigan operates 16 schools, including 10 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative high school. The district as a whole is ranked 548 out of 613 in Michigan and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

A few schools stand out in the district. PD Graham Elementary School has the highest performance across multiple metrics, with 35.5% of 5th graders proficient in M-Step Science in 2024-2025, compared to 22.1% for the district and 40.3% for the state. WalkerWinter Elementary School also performs relatively well, with 3rd-5th grade proficiency rates often exceeding the district and state averages. The high schools, John Glenn High School and Wayne Memorial High School, have similar graduation rates (82.8%) and dropout rates (7.6%) to the district average.

The data reveals significant challenges and disparities within the Wayne-Westland Community School District. Proficiency rates on M-Step and SAT/PSAT exams are generally lower than the state averages, with the district scoring around 10-20 percentage points below the state in most subject areas. Additionally, the district has a high rate of chronic absenteeism at 29.5%, and a large percentage of students (55% to 84%) receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The district will need to implement targeted interventions and support systems to address these issues and improve educational outcomes for its students.
