Summary:
The Winona-Montgomery Consolidated school district in Mississippi is home to a single elementary school, Winona Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. This school faces significant challenges, with a student population that is predominantly economically disadvantaged and academic performance that lags behind state averages in core subjects.
Winona Elementary School has a student population of 627, with a racial makeup that is 61% African American and 35% White. The school's student-teacher ratio of 13.7 is slightly lower than the state average, but its spending per student of $7,881 is below the Mississippi average. Notably, the school has a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, indicating that all of its students come from low-income households.
Academically, Winona Elementary School struggles to meet grade-level standards, with proficiency rates on the MAAP tests that are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, the school's 5th grade science proficiency rate of 69.5% is higher than the state average of 71.2%, suggesting a potential area of strength. Despite these challenges, the school has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Mississippi elementary schools by SchoolDigger, with a 2-star rating out of 5 for the past three school years.
