The middle and elementary schools show mixed performance on state assessments, with Winnebago Middle School outperforming the district and state in some areas.

The data suggests the Winnebago CUSD 323 district has room for improvement, particularly at the elementary and middle school levels. Addressing issues like attendance, poverty, and resource allocation could be key to driving better academic outcomes for all students in the district. While Dorothy Simon Elementary School and Winnebago Middle School also show promise, the district's overall performance indicates the need for a closer look at strategies to support student success across all grade levels.
