Summary:
The Madison District Public Schools in Michigan has only one middle school, Wilkinson Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The data reveals that this school has consistently performed in the bottom 25% of Michigan middle schools over the past three school years, with significantly lower proficiency rates on state assessments compared to state averages.
Wilkinson Middle School's performance on state assessments is a major concern, with only 14% of 6th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 38.6%. The school's proficiency rates in science and social studies are also well below the state averages. Additionally, the school's performance on the PSAT exam is lower than the state averages, with only 51.5% of 8th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 13.6% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 65.3% and 30.4%, respectively.
The data also reveals that Wilkinson Middle School serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with 83.33% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the higher per-student spending of $19,406, which is above the state average, the school's performance remains low, suggesting that simply allocating more resources may not be the sole solution. The school and the district may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address these issues and improve student outcomes.
