Summary

Winton Elementary School, a PK-5 school serving 398 students at 920 La Crosse Avenue in Coeur d'Alene, is part of the Coeur d'Alene District and one of Idaho's most improved elementary schools. In 2021-2022, Winton ranked in the 18th percentile statewide with a 1-star rating. By 2025-2026, it had climbed to the 92nd percentile—26th out of 346 schools—earning 5 stars. This turnaround stands out because 56.5% of Winton's students qualify for free/reduced lunch, a higher poverty rate than most high-performing nearby schools.

Winton's academic growth has been dramatic. Math proficiency jumped from 37.2% in 2022-2023 to 71.9% in 2025-2026, while ELA proficiency rose from 40.9% to 72.2% over the same period. The school now beats the district average by nearly 20 points in math and 6 points in ELA. Winton nearly matches the math scores of nearby Dalton Elementary School and Hayden Meadows Elementary School, both of which serve far fewer low-income students, and slightly exceeds Sorensen Magnet School of the Arts and Humanities. Bryan Elementary School, which has a similar poverty rate, trails Winton by 18 points in math and 12 points in ELA.

Other factors support Winton's improvement. Chronic absenteeism dropped from above 22% in 2022-2023 to 1.4% in 2025-2026, though a reporting change may partly explain the sharp decline. The student-teacher ratio of 15.1 is lower than most neighboring elementaries, suggesting smaller classes. Spending is moderate, so effective resource allocation likely matters as much as budget. Science remains a developing subject, but 5th-grade science proficiency reached 67.6%, above the district's 58.7%. One caveat: recent subgroup data is limited, so confirming that gains extend to all student groups will be important.
