Summary

Romulus Middle School is a public magnet middle school serving grades 6-8 in Romulus, Michigan, part of the Romulus Community Schools district. With 449 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Michigan middle schools over the past 10 years, significantly underperforming state averages across all subject areas and grade levels.

Romulus Middle School faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 29.5% to 56.2% over the past few years, much higher than the state average. Additionally, 77.51% of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating the school serves a predominantly low-income population. Despite spending significantly more per student ($21,467 in 2023-2024) compared to the state average, the school's performance is particularly low for male students, Hispanic students, and students with special education needs, ranking in the bottom 25-30% of Michigan middle schools for these subgroups.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Farmington 56 Campus and Garden City Middle School, Romulus Middle School consistently underperforms on academic metrics, with significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics. This suggests the need for substantial interventions and support to improve outcomes for its students.
