Winifred High School

Summary:

Winifred High School is a small public high school in Winifred, Montana, serving around 44 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Winifred K-12 Schools district, which is ranked 126 out of 300 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Academically, Winifred High School has seen fluctuating performance over the years, with proficiency rates in state tests ranging from 7th to 89th out of Montana high schools. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school's reading proficiency was significantly higher than the district and state averages, but its math and science proficiency lagged behind. The school's per-student spending was $14,172 in 2018-2019, and it has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio.

One notable strength of Winifred High School is its exceptional reading proficiency, which suggests the school may have effective reading instruction and support programs in place. However, the school's overall academic performance has been inconsistent, and the lack of data on the socioeconomic status of the student population makes it difficult to fully understand the factors influencing the school's performance.

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.
