The school has consistently underperformed compared to other Michigan middle schools, ranking in the bottom 20% over the past few years. With a low 1-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger, Romulus Middle School faces significant challenges in student achievement and engagement.

Academically, the school's test scores are well below state averages across all subjects and grade levels, with only 19.6% of 6th graders proficient in English Language Arts compared to the state average of 38.6%. Additionally, 77.51% of students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite spending $21,467 per student, which is higher than the state average, Romulus Middle School is not achieving better outcomes.
