Summary:
The Winona-Montgomery Consolidated school district in Mississippi operates two schools: Winona Elementary School (grades PK-6) and Winona Secondary School (grades 7-12). These schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While the elementary school performs slightly better on some metrics, both schools face significant academic challenges, particularly in English Language Arts proficiency.
Winona Elementary School has a higher percentage of African American students (61.08%) compared to the state average. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally below the state averages, except for 3rd grade Math. In contrast, Winona Secondary School struggles significantly in English Language Arts, with only around 20% of 7th and 8th graders scoring proficient or better, well below the state averages.
Despite the challenges, the Winona-Montgomery Consolidated school district appears to allocate more resources to the secondary school, with a higher spending per student ($11,750) compared to the elementary school ($7,881). However, both schools are rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating that the district as a whole faces significant obstacles in meeting academic standards and expectations.
