Winfield Central is the only school in the list, so it cannot be ranked against local peers; its grade-level results show both standout strengths and areas below the state. In 2025–2026 mathematics, grade 3 was 70% proficient versus 49% statewide, and grade 6 was 59% versus 36%. In ELA, grade 6 was 74% versus 59%, while grade 7 was 44% versus 58%. Overall ELA was essentially at the state level: 56.0% at the school versus 56.3% statewide. Eighth-grade ELA and fifth- and eighth-grade mathematics results are suppressed, so they cannot be assessed.
Results changed differently by subject and grade. All-grades mathematics remained above the state, with a 7-point advantage in 2024–2025 and an 8-point advantage in 2025–2026; ELA shifted from 1 point above the state to 0.3 points below. Science also varied by grade: grade 5 proficiency fell 11 points, from 66% to 55%, while grade 8 rose 14 points, from 45% to 59%. SchoolDigger rates the school at 3 stars and ranks it 434th of 1,126 schools, in the 61st percentile, for 2025–2026.
