Winters Elementary

Summary:

Winters Elementary is a public elementary school in Winters, Texas, serving 339 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Winters Independent School District, which is ranked 569 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Winters Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic students (52.51%) and a lower percentage of White students (42.48%). However, the school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally below the state average across multiple grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency rate was 37.5%, compared to the state average of 48.85%. Winters Elementary's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school performing relatively well for Gifted and Talented students but struggling with Hispanic and At-Risk student populations.

Compared to the nearby Lawn Elementary, which is part of the Jim Ned Consolidated Independent School District, Winters Elementary consistently underperforms across various academic measures, including STAAR test scores and statewide rankings. Additionally, Winters Elementary has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 68.47% to 75.24% over the past three school years, which is significantly higher than the 34% rate at Lawn Elementary. These factors suggest that Winters Elementary faces unique challenges and resource needs that the school and district will need to address to improve student 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.
