Winton Middle faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, low test scores, and uneven performance across student subgroups. The school's chronic absenteeism rates have risen significantly, from 7.1% in 2017-2018 to 51.5% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the state average and nearby schools. Winton Middle's test scores in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are consistently below the state averages across all grade levels, with proficiency rates ranging from 32.11% to 47.45% in ELA and 21.72% to 32.84% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 45.82% to 47.19% and 31.57% to 34.31%, respectively. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with relatively strong performance for English Language Learner (ELL) students but struggles with White and Special Education students.

Winton Middle's performance is generally lower than the nearby middle schools, such as Weaver Middle, Delhi Middle, and the Merced City Elementary schools, which tend to have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and better performance across student subgroups. Additionally, Winton Middle's performance has declined over the years, with the school's statewide ranking dropping from 536 out of 894 California middle schools in 2020-2021 to 1,488 out of 2,777 in 2023-2024.

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.
