Best Public Schools in Winona, MO

Summary:

The city of Winona, Missouri is home to two schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Winona Elementary and Winona High, both part of the Winona R-III school district. While Winona Elementary stands out as a high-performing school, Winona High appears to be underperforming compared to other high schools in the state.

Winona Elementary is ranked 46th out of 898 Missouri elementary schools and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are significantly higher than the state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels, with 64.7% proficiency in 5th grade math (vs. 39.1% state average) and 73.5% proficiency in 5th grade English Language Arts (vs. 44.1% state average). Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.2, which may contribute to its strong academic performance.

In contrast, Winona High School is ranked 296th out of 352 high schools in Missouri and has only a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is underperforming compared to other high schools in the state. While Winona R-III spends more per student at the high school level ($11,114) compared to the elementary level ($9,320), the high school's lower performance raises questions about the efficient allocation of resources and the factors that contribute to student outcomes beyond just spending.
