Excellent teachers who go WAY above and beyond to teach each child in the best way that child learns. Support staff who support and advocate tirelessly. We don't have alot of money here in Wyandotte - but we have alot of excellence.

The my student at woodrow wilson middle school used to attend another school, And i have noticed that the work that the teachers give the students is work that he has learned in late grade school so I am a concerned parent and am ready to pull my student out of wilson and put him in another district with better schooling and test scores and ratings.

We have one daughter at Wilson Middle school so far. Both my husband and I have been very impressed and happy with the way the school is managed, and how good the teachers are. I believe the principal has set down many good rules for the kids to follow regarding dress code and conduct. I think more schools should look at Wilsons structure. My daughter has continue to excel at Wilson, she was on the Principals list this year. I would like to give a shout out the the principal, teachers and staff at Wilson....Thank you for the Great Job you are doing! The Patrick Family

Woodrow Wilson Middle School is a wonderful school the food they serve is delicious they really care about their students and teachers. The teachers teach the lesson in a fun way that kids ddo a lot better with then just regular academics. It is well put together and is run by a great staff. Physical Education is everyday all year. Except if you join orchestra or chorus. The 7th grade and 8th grade are on seperate floors the students are dived into houses or a group of 4 academic teachers. the 8th grade is split up into the green house and into the red and purple house. The 7th grad is dived into gold house and blue house. There is Computers Media tech Fun with shapes and angles The history of American films and tech or woodshop These are electives.This is a great school please think about enrolling your child.

About the tests


In 2012-2013 Michigan used the Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in math, reading and writing; in grades 5 and 8 in science; and in grades 6 and 9 in social studies. The MEAP is a standards-based test, which measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Michigan. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.

Beginning in the 2011-2012 school year, the Michigan State Board of Education implemented new definitions of what it means to be proficient on the MEAP test. The new standards for proficiency are higher than in previous years and the percent of students earning a proficient score is expected to be lower as a result of this change.
