Winona Elementary

Summary:

Winona Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Winona, Missouri, with 299 students. The school is part of the Winona R-III school district, which is ranked 161 out of 386 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Winona Elementary has consistently performed well on state assessments, ranking in the top 20% of Missouri elementary schools for low-income students in recent years. In 2023-2024, the school's 5th-grade students scored 84% proficient or better in math, significantly higher than the state average of 38.4%, and their 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 76% was also much higher than the state average of 40.8%. However, the school faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 33.8% to 37.2% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Winona Elementary also has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 72.27% to 78.4% in recent years.

Compared to the nearby Van Buren Elementary, Birch Tree Elementary, and Eminence Elementary, Winona Elementary generally outperforms them on academic measures, despite having a higher percentage of low-income students. This suggests the school may be employing effective instructional practices and support systems that could be shared with the neighboring schools. Additionally, Winona Elementary's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio indicate the school is well-resourced, which may contribute to its strong 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.
