Q: Is Winfield Elementary a good school?

Winfield Elementary ranks 563 rd of 859 Maryland elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Winfield Elementary is a public elementary school in Baltimore, Maryland, serving 420 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Baltimore County Public Schools district, which is ranked 17 out of 25 in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Winfield Elementary stands out for its significantly higher percentage of African American students (81.9%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 46.86% to 84.48% African American students. The school consistently ranks in the bottom half of Maryland elementary schools, with a ranking between 554 and 721 out of 802 to 867 schools over the past 10 years. Winfield's performance on state assessments (MCAP) is also significantly lower than the Baltimore County and Maryland state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, Winfield has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 51.35% to 75.39% over the past three years, which is higher than the surrounding schools, such as Scotts Branch Elementary and Woodmoor Elementary, which range from 39.37% to 73.47%.

Despite these challenges, Winfield Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.9 to 13.5 over the past three years, which is comparable to the surrounding schools. The school's spending per student is also higher than the nearby schools, ranging from $13,765 to $17,286 per student in the 2020-2021 school year. These resources suggest that Winfield Elementary may have the potential to implement targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes, but additional research would be needed to fully understand the underlying causes of the school's lower academic 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.
