Best Public Schools in Zip Code 65588


Summary:

The 65588 zip code area is home to two schools - Winona Elementary and Winona High, both part of the Winona R-III district. While Winona Elementary is a standout performer, ranking in the top 20% of Missouri elementary schools, Winona High has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom 20% of high schools in the state.

Winona Elementary boasts strong academic achievement, with 5th-grade math and science proficiency rates significantly above the state average. The school has received 4-5 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger and has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 35.8%. In contrast, Winona High School's test scores are well below state averages across multiple subjects, with proficiency rates ranging from just 6.3% in Geometry to 35.8% in Algebra I.

Despite the high spending per student at Winona High ($11,114 compared to $9,320 at the elementary school), the academic outcomes remain significantly weaker. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as instructional practices, curriculum, and school leadership, may be contributing to the performance gap between the two schools. Addressing the challenges at the high school level could have a significant impact on improving educational outcomes for the community.
