Winfield R-IV

The Winfield R-IV school district in Missouri consists of 4 schools: 2 elementary schools (Winfield Elementary and Winfield Intermediate), 1 middle school (Winfield Middle), and 1 high school (Winfield High). The district serves a predominantly white student population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 39% to 57%, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges.

Winfield High School stands out as the largest school with 511 students and a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 39%. However, the school's state-wide ranking has declined from 167th to 236th over the past 3 years, suggesting a need to address factors contributing to this drop. In contrast, Winfield Intermediate School struggles academically, with significantly lower test scores compared to the state average, especially in Math and English Language Arts.

Across the district, there are notable disparities in academic performance and spending per student, ranging from $8,844 at Winfield Middle to $11,219 at Winfield Elementary. These findings suggest that the Winfield R-IV district could benefit from a closer examination of resource allocation and targeted interventions to address the academic performance gaps, particularly at the elementary level.
