Winfield-Mt Union Junior-Senior High School's test scores are generally below the state averages, especially in mathematics and science.

At $12,857 per student in 2018-2019, the school's spending is slightly below the state average, which may contribute to the lower academic performance. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.7 to 13.3 over the past few years, suggesting that class sizes are small.

Winfield-Mt Union Junior-Senior High School's performance is generally lower than that of nearby schools like Danville Junior-Senior High School, Mediapolis High School, and WACO High School, which have higher test scores, lower free/reduced lunch rates, and better statewide rankings. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Winfield-Mt Union Junior-Senior High School may contribute to the lower academic performance, and the school's small size could also be a factor.

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.
