Winona High School faces several academic challenges. Its statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 800 out of 1,743 Texas high schools in 2014-2015 to 1,225 out of 1,961 in 2022-2023. The school's performance on STAAR End-of-Course exams is generally below the state and district averages, with only 13.75% of students proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to 44.73% statewide. However, the school performs better in certain subjects, such as Biology, where 65.82% of students were proficient or better, exceeding the state average of 57.31%. Winona High School maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 92.1% to 97.0%, and a low dropout rate between 0.3% and 0.6%.

Winona High School's performance lags behind many nearby schools, such as Tyler Independent School District (ISD) Early College High School, which consistently ranks among the top 5% of Texas high schools and has a 100% four-year graduation rate. Additionally, Lindale High School, located about 14 miles from Winona, ranks in the top 10% of Texas high schools and has significantly higher academic achievement. Winona High School's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (79.86% in 2022-2023) may contribute to its academic challenges, as research has shown a strong correlation between poverty and educational outcomes.

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.
