Winnfield Primary School

Summary:

Winnfield Primary School is an elementary school in Winnfield, Louisiana, serving 454 students in grades PK-4 as part of the Winn Parish School District, which is ranked 58 out of 122 districts in the state.

Winnfield Primary School stands out for its consistent academic performance, with proficiency rates in mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) that consistently exceed the Winn Parish and Louisiana state averages. However, the school faces challenges in addressing achievement gaps, particularly between White and African American students, as well as supporting its economically disadvantaged population, which makes up over 50% of the student body. Compared to nearby schools like Goldonna Elementary & Junior High School and Verda Elementary School, Winnfield Primary School generally performs better in mathematics and ELA, but the nearby schools have lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students.

While Winnfield Primary School's overall academic performance is strong, its statewide ranking has declined in recent years, suggesting the school may be facing increasing competition or challenges compared to other schools in Winn Parish and across Louisiana. The school's high student-teacher ratio may also impact the level of individual attention and support available to students, and addressing the achievement gaps for African American and special education students could be areas for potential improvement.

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.
