Winona Elementary

Summary:

Winona Elementary is a public elementary school in Winona, Texas, serving 565 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Winona Independent School District. The school's student population is predominantly White (42.12%), Hispanic (35.04%), and African American (18.58%), with a high percentage (90.44%) of economically disadvantaged students.

Winona Elementary's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, only 25% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to the state average of 48.85%. The school's performance has been consistently low, ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools for several years. This underperformance is particularly pronounced among the school's African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education student subgroups, who all score well below their peers at nearby schools like Caldwell Arts Academy and Big Sandy Elementary.

Despite the school's high per-student spending of $10,658 in the 2020-2021 school year, which is above the state average, Winona Elementary's academic struggles persist. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students is likely a significant factor contributing to these challenges, and the school may need to implement more targeted interventions and support systems to address the unique needs of its diverse student population. By learning from the successes of higher-performing nearby schools and implementing evidence-based strategies, Winona Elementary may be able to improve its academic outcomes and provide a better educational experience for its students.

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.
