Q: Is Winfield High a good school?

Winfield High ranks 236 th of 352 Missouri high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Winfield High is a public high school located in Winfield, Missouri, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 511. The school is part of the Winfield R-IV school district, which is ranked 234 out of 376 districts in Missouri and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Winfield High's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is consistently below the state averages across all subjects and years. For example, in 2022-2023, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 21.5% in Geometry to 40.6% in English II, compared to the state averages of 51.6% and 54.4%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low for its White, Special Education, Low Socio-Economic Status, and Disabled student subgroups, indicating a need to address achievement gaps. Winfield High's fluctuating statewide ranking, ranging from 167 out of 358 Missouri high schools in 2020-2021 to 236 out of 352 in 2022-2023, and its 2-star SchoolDigger rating reflect the school's ongoing struggle to improve its academic outcomes.

In comparison, the nearby high-performing schools, such as Timberland High, Ft. Zumwalt South High, North Point High School, and Ft. Zumwalt West High, consistently outperform Winfield High on academic measures, with proficiency rates well above the state averages and higher statewide rankings. These high-performing schools also have lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 9.95% to 16.76%, compared to Winfield High's 39.33% in 2022-2023. To address these issues, Winfield High may need to implement targeted interventions, increase funding and resources, and collaborate with the surrounding high-performing schools to learn from their best practices and strategies for supporting student success.

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.
