District-Level NCES Analysis
Wyoming Public Schools operates 8 public schools serving 3,916 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Michigan. The school portfolio breaks down into 5 elementary, 1 high, 1 middle, 1 combined schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Kent County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,489 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 821 Michigan districts by per-pupil spending. See how Michigan compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 32.5% local, 53.3% state, and 14.2% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 64/100, ranked #139 of 707 in Michigan against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 8 schools offering Advanced Placement (6 AP courses district-wide), a 610.3:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 54.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 48.9% Hispanic or Latino, 23.3% White, 18.0% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is West Elementary School, with a diversity index of 71.7/100.
Its largest campus is Wyoming High School, enrolling 1,273 students (33% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Wyoming Regional Center, at 48 students, a 27x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Wyoming High School accounts for 32.5% of all Wyoming Public Schools student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Wyoming Public Schools-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Wyoming Public Schools school enrollment varies 27× across entities
Wyoming Public Schools school enrollment ranges from 48 students (lowest) to 1,273 students (highest), a spread of 1,225 students. That spread is wider than typical and predicts noticeable gaps in service quality between the highest and lowest areas. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Wyoming Public Schools has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 76.0% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility — including this one — receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
Wyoming Public Schools student-counselor ratio is 610:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
Wyoming Public Schools chronic absenteeism rate is 54.8% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
Wyoming Public Schools has 8 schools, including 1 high, 1 middle, 5 elementary, 1 combined. Total enrollment is 3,916 students.
