Winnett School

Summary:

Winnett School is a small elementary school in Winnett, MT, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 36 students. Despite its small size, the school has consistently outperformed the Winnett K-12 Schools district and the state of Montana in both mathematics and reading proficiency on the Montana State Tests. In the 2022-2023 school year, 65.22% of Winnett School students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 48.48% for the district and 36.59% for the state, and 60.87% were proficient or better in reading, compared to 48.48% for the district and 46.03% for the state.

Winnett School has a strong track record of high statewide rankings among Montana elementary schools, ranking 34th out of 332 in the 2022-2023 school year and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. This ranking has fluctuated over the years, but the school has consistently been in the top 25% of Montana elementary schools. Additionally, the school has a very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 6.3 to 6.8 students per teacher over the past three school years, which is significantly lower than the state average and allows for more individualized attention and support for students.

While Winnett School has demonstrated consistent academic excellence, its small size and the fluctuations in its statewide ranking suggest that the school's performance may be influenced by factors beyond its control. Additionally, the school has had a predominantly white student population, with a small percentage of Native American students in the 2020-2021 school year, which may raise questions about the school's ability to provide a culturally inclusive environment for its students.

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.
