Winburn Middle School

Summary:

Winburn Middle School is a public middle school in Lexington, Kentucky, serving 800 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Fayette County School District, which is ranked 77 out of 159 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Winburn Middle School consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Kentucky middle schools, with significantly lower academic performance than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of Winburn students proficient or better in Mathematics ranged from 21% to 32%, compared to 39% to 47% in Fayette County and 37% to 42% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with disabilities, who rank in the bottom 20% of Kentucky middle schools. Winburn Middle School also has a high percentage of students from low-income families, with 66.12% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the Fayette County average of around 50%.

In comparison, nearby middle schools in the Fayette County district, such as Southern Middle School, Tates Creek Middle School, and Jessie M. Clark Middle School, generally perform better academically, with higher proficiency rates and higher statewide rankings. These schools also have lower percentages of students from low-income families, ranging from 34% to 58% free/reduced-price lunch, compared to Winburn's 66.12%. The higher-performing schools tend to have lower student-teacher ratios and higher per-student spending, suggesting that resource allocation and school demographics may be contributing factors to the academic disparities.

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.
