Summary

Woodrow Wilson Elementary is a K-5 school in Port Huron, MI, serving 246 students within the Port Huron Area School District, where over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The most significant challenge facing Woodrow Wilson is chronic absenteeism. In the 2024-2025 school year, 44.5% of students were chronically absent—meaning they missed 10% or more of the school year. This rate is nearly double the district average (34.6%) and well above the state average (27.9%). While this represents improvement from a staggering 69.6% rate in 2021-2022, it remains the single biggest obstacle to student success. The connection between attendance and achievement is clear: when students are in class, they can learn. In 2023-2024, 3rd grade math proficiency reached 33.3%, actually exceeding the district average—proof that consistent attendance leads to results. However, when nearly half the student body regularly misses school, even the best instruction cannot overcome that lost learning time.

Academically, Woodrow Wilson ranks in the bottom 4% of Michigan elementary schools, with proficiency rates 20-30 percentage points below state averages in reading, math, and science. The contrast with Edison Elementary, just 4 miles away in the same district, is stark: Edison ranks in the 77th percentile statewide with only 10.6% chronic absenteeism, while Woodrow Wilson sits at the 4th percentile. However, East Shore Leadership Academy, located just 0.12 miles away and serving a similarly high-poverty population (92.6% free/reduced lunch), achieves notably better results—ranking in the 27th percentile. This suggests poverty alone doesn't determine outcomes. The school spends $21,548 per student—50% more than Edison—and maintains a favorable 10.8:1 student-teacher ratio, yet these resources haven't translated into academic gains. The path forward is clear: prioritizing attendance must be the school's top focus, as no amount of funding or small class sizes can compensate for students missing nearly half the school year.
