Academically, Wright City Middle's performance on standardized tests is generally below the state averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the percentage of 8th-grade students proficient or better in Math was 46.9% at Wright City Middle, compared to the state average of 32.7%. However, the school's performance on English Language Arts (ELA) tests is more mixed, with 8th-grade ELA proficiency at 46.9%, which is higher than the state average of 42.2%.

These socioeconomic challenges may contribute to the school's academic underperformance.
