Winona High

Summary:

Winona High is a public high school located in Winona, Missouri, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 142 students. The school has faced significant academic challenges in recent years, ranking 305 out of 378 Missouri high schools in the 2023-2024 school year and earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Winona High's performance on state assessments is generally below the state average, with particularly low proficiency rates in subjects like Geometry (6.3% proficient) and American History (7.8% proficient). In comparison, the nearby Liberty Senior High school, which is part of the Mountain View-Birch Tree R-III district, performs better academically, ranking 156 out of 378 Missouri high schools in 2023-2024. However, Winona High maintains a high four-year graduation rate of 100%, exceeding the rates of nearby schools like Van Buren High.

One significant challenge for Winona High is its high chronic absenteeism rate, with 35.8% of students chronically absent in the 2023-2024 school year, significantly higher than the nearby Liberty Senior High (17.7%) and Van Buren High (12.9%). Additionally, Winona High serves a high percentage of low-socioeconomic status (SES) students, with 72.54% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, higher than the nearby schools. Addressing these challenges, along with the school's declining academic performance, will be crucial for Winona High to better serve its students and community.

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.
