Summary:

Winfield Middle is a public middle school located in Winfield, Missouri, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 377 students. The school is part of the Winfield R-IV School District, which is ranked 204 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Winfield Middle faces several academic challenges, with student performance on state assessments generally below state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of students proficient or better in Mathematics ranged from 24.5% (8th grade) to 37.2% (7th grade), compared to the state averages of 30.6% to 44.4%. The school's performance in English Language Arts is slightly better, but still below state averages. Winfield Middle also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.3% to 27.0% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as White students, Special Education students, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, is generally lower than the state averages for those subgroups.

Compared to nearby schools like Frontier Middle, Wentzville South Middle, and Dr. Bernard J. Dubray Middle, Winfield Middle generally underperforms in academic achievement, with lower proficiency rates on state assessments and lower rankings among Missouri middle schools. These nearby schools also have lower chronic absenteeism rates and serve student populations with lower percentages of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. To address these challenges, Winfield Middle may need to explore strategies to improve instructional quality, increase student engagement, and provide more targeted support for struggling students and those from low-income backgrounds.

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.
