Summary

Lee Middle School in Wyoming, MI, serves 346 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the Godfrey-Lee Public Schools district, where over 93% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Lee Middle School invests heavily in its students, spending $18,654 per student in the 2024-2025 school year—more than nearby Kelloggsville Middle School ($14,862) and Wyoming Junior High School ($17,608). However, this funding hasn't translated into top test scores, with the school ranking in the 9th percentile statewide. One bright spot is 8th-grade English Language Arts on the PSAT, where 43.7% of students met proficiency—far stronger than their M-Step scores and closer to the state average. This gap between tests suggests students may respond better to college-prep style assessments than to Michigan's state exam. On the other hand, 7th-grade math proficiency dropped sharply from 11.1% to 5.2% in one year, a trend worth watching. Encouragingly, chronic absenteeism at 24.5% is much lower than at nearby schools like Westwood Middle School (67.6%) or Alger Middle School (69.3%), meaning more students are showing up ready to learn.

Comparing Lee to Godwin Heights Middle School, just 2.9 miles away and serving a similarly high-poverty population, reveals that higher outcomes are possible. Godwin Heights posted 59% proficiency in 8th-grade PSAT ELA versus Lee's 43.7%, and 23% in 7th-grade M-Step ELA versus Lee's 9.6%. This suggests Lee could benefit from studying strategies used by its neighbor. The school's performance has also been volatile, improving to the 20th percentile in 2024-2025 before slipping back to the 9th percentile the following year. For parents, this means Lee is a school with dedicated funding and decent attendance, but academic results remain inconsistent—making it important to ask about specific grade-level supports and how the school plans to address the math decline.
