Summary

Winton Middle is a public middle school located in Hayward, California, serving grades 7-8 with a student population of 531. The school is part of the Hayward Unified School District, which is ranked 1268 out of 1565 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Winton Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of California middle schools over the past decade, with a ranking between 1664 and 2266 out of around 2,500-2,800 middle schools.

Winton Middle consistently underperforms compared to the Hayward Unified School District and the state of California in standardized assessments, with only 30.74% of its students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and just 17.89% proficient or better in Mathematics in the 2024-2025 school year. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.4% to 37.1% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Winton Middle has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 63.67% to 86.25% over the past few years, indicating a high-need student population.

Despite the increased spending per student at Winton Middle, from $15,862 in 2020-2021 to $21,936 in 2023-2024, the school's academic performance has not shown significant improvement. The other middle schools in the Hayward Unified School District, such as Anthony W. Ochoa Middle and Martin Luther King Junior Middle, also perform below the state average but generally outperform Winton Middle in test scores and other metrics, suggesting that addressing the root causes of the school's challenges, such as socioeconomic factors and student engagement, may be necessary to drive meaningful improvements.
