Summary:
In zip code 48192, located in Wyandotte, Michigan, there is just one middle school option: Woodrow Wilson School, which serves grades 6 through 8 and enrolls 869 students within the Wyandotte School District of the City of.
For parents considering this area, Woodrow Wilson School presents a mixed but improving picture. The school’s biggest strength is in 8th grade, where students outperform the state average in both Social Studies (51% vs. 50.3% proficient) and PSAT English Language Arts (66.4% vs. 64.8%). However, mathematics is a clear concern: only 16.7% of 6th graders and 23.6% of 7th graders are proficient in M-Step Math, compared to state averages of 31.9% and 33.3%, respectively. This roughly 10-15 point gap in math is the most significant academic challenge the school faces. In contrast, ELA scores are much closer to state averages, and by 8th grade, the school actually pulls ahead, suggesting literacy skills develop well over time even if foundational math lags.
Encouragingly, the school is on an upward trajectory. From the 2024-2025 to 2025-2026 school year, proficiency improved in nearly every subject and grade, including a dramatic jump in 8th grade Social Studies from 34.6% to 51%. The school’s state ranking also rose from 557th to 486th, moving it into the 46th percentile. That said, parents should note a high student-teacher ratio of 18.8 and a chronic absenteeism rate of 26.8%, which affects over a quarter of students and likely hampers progress. The school spends a substantial $16,130 per student, yet this hasn’t translated into smaller classes or perfect attendance. With 52.7% of students economically disadvantaged, the school faces real hurdles, but the recent broad-based gains suggest targeted efforts are beginning to work—especially if math intervention remains a priority.
