Winfield High's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally below the state average across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 10th-grade proficiency rates were 21.79% in English Language Arts and 22.28% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 27.57% and 21.31%, respectively. However, the school has shown some strengths in the performance of specific student subgroups, particularly Hispanic, Multi-racial, and Special Education students, who have ranked among the top in the state.

Winfield High's performance has also been somewhat inconsistent over the years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 91st and 229th out of Kansas high schools. To improve the school's standing, Winfield High may need to focus on addressing the performance gaps across different student groups and implementing strategies to raise proficiency levels in core academic areas.

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.
