William Winans Middle School

Summary:

William Winans Middle School is a public middle school in Centreville, Mississippi, serving 225 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Wilkinson County School District, which is ranked last out of 130 school districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

William Winans Middle School stands out for its highly homogeneous student population, with over 99% of students being African American, in contrast to the nearby Amite County Middle School, which has a more diverse student body. Academically, William Winans consistently performs well below the state average on standardized tests, with proficiency rates ranging from 7.7% to 36%, while Amite County Middle School has significantly higher proficiency rates, ranging from 35% to 69.6%. Additionally, all students at William Winans come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, similar to Amite County Middle School.

Despite the additional resources and funding it receives, William Winans Middle School has struggled to improve student outcomes, consistently ranking among the lowest-performing middle schools in Mississippi over the past decade. The stark contrast in academic performance between William Winans and Amite County Middle School, despite both serving high-poverty student populations, suggests that factors beyond socioeconomic status, such as teacher quality, curriculum, and access to educational resources, may be contributing to the challenges faced by William Winans Middle School.

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.
