Winstead Elementary School

Summary:

Winstead Elementary School is a high-performing public elementary school in Franklin, Tennessee, serving 648 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Williamson County School District, which is ranked 2nd out of 139 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Winstead Elementary consistently ranks among the top 40 elementary schools in Tennessee, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in TNReady Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science are significantly higher than the state averages, often exceeding the Williamson County district averages as well. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Winstead Elementary had 77% proficiency in Mathematics and 77.6% proficiency in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 39.7% and 37.6%, respectively. The school's student subgroups, such as female students, male students, Hispanic students, and white students, also consistently rank among the top schools in Tennessee for their respective categories.

While Winstead Elementary's academic excellence is noteworthy, the school's predominantly white student population, with only 0.93% African American, 10.19% Hispanic, and 1.7% Asian students, differs from the more diverse student demographics of some nearby schools, such as Poplar Grove K-4 and Johnson Elementary. Additionally, Winstead Elementary's relatively low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending suggest that the school is well-resourced, which may contribute to its academic success but also raises questions about the equitable distribution of resources across the district.

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.
