Winfield Middle School consistently outperforms the state average in academic assessments, with 5th grade students scoring significantly higher than the state in Mathematics (63.92% vs. 37.13%) and English Language Arts (82.47% vs. 63.07%). However, the school has a predominantly white student population (89.76%) compared to nearby Hamilton Middle School (84.73%) and Fayette Middle School (70.09%). Additionally, a high percentage of Winfield Middle School students (58.79%) come from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, higher than the nearby schools.

Despite these challenges, Winfield Middle School has maintained a strong academic performance, ranking between 27th and 182nd out of over 400 Alabama middle schools in recent years. The school's performance has been particularly impressive in the 2023-2024 and 2022-2023 school years, where it ranked 44th and 47th, respectively, earning 5-star and 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger. However, there may be some racial achievement gaps, as the school's ranking for white students is lower than its overall ranking, suggesting that the performance of non-white students may be contributing to the school's high overall performance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
