Winnsboro High School

Summary:

Winnsboro High School is a public high school in Winnsboro, Texas, serving 492 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Winnsboro Independent School District, which is ranked 486 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Winnsboro High School has maintained a high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 93.8% to 99.0% over the past five years, its academic performance has seen a steady decline in recent years. The school's statewide ranking has dropped from a high of 86th out of 1,734 Texas high schools in 2013-2014 to 883rd out of 1,987 in 2023-2024, placing it in the bottom half of the state's high schools. This decline is particularly notable given that the school has held a 4-star rating in the past. Additionally, Winnsboro High School's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking highly for African American and Gifted and Talented students but struggling with Hispanic, White, and English Language Learner students.

In comparison to nearby high schools, such as Pittsburg High School and Harmony High School, Winnsboro High School stands out for its significantly higher percentage of White students, as well as its higher per-student spending, which has increased from $9,603 in 2018-2019 to $12,835 in 2020-2021. However, these investments have not yet translated into improved academic outcomes, as the school continues to lag behind its neighbors in overall performance.

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.
