Washington-Kosciusko Elementary

Summary:

Washington-Kosciusko Elementary is a public elementary school in Winona, Minnesota, serving 286 students in grades PK-4. The school is part of the Winona Area Public School District, which is ranked 296 out of 463 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Washington-Kosciusko Elementary has a diverse student population, with 64.69% White, 10.14% African American, 5.59% Hispanic, and 7.34% Asian students, the school's academic performance is consistently below average compared to other Minnesota elementary schools. The school has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks in the bottom third of the state, with proficiency rates in MCA-III Math and Reading that are lower than the district and state averages. This is particularly true for male students, White students, and students with special education needs, who perform in the bottom 25% of Minnesota elementary schools.

Interestingly, nearby schools like Goodview Elementary, Lewiston-Altura Elementary, and Ridgeway Community School consistently outperform Washington-Kosciusko Elementary in terms of academic achievement, school rankings, and student subgroup performance. This suggests that the factors contributing to Washington-Kosciusko's relatively poor performance, such as its high poverty and diversity, need to be addressed through targeted interventions and strategies for improvement.

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.
