Summary:
Lena Winslow CUSD 202 has three schools serving preschool through grade 12: Lena-Winslow Elementary School (412 students), Lena-Winslow Junior High School (173), and Lena-Winslow High School (232). In 2025–26, the two schools reporting all-grades IAR results averaged 75% in ELA, 18 percentage points above the state’s 56%; their math average was 53%, 14 points above the state’s 40%. The clearest overall pattern is above-state ELA and math performance at both IAR schools, though math results vary more between them.
Junior High leads in IAR ELA, at 76% proficient compared with Elementary at 73%, a 4-point gap. Elementary leads in math, at 61% versus Junior High’s 46%, a 15-point gap. Junior High’s main subject concern is grade 8 science: 45% proficient, 7 points below the state’s 52%. Elementary grade 5 science stands out positively at 62%, 14 points above the state. High School is above state in grade 11 ACT ELA, math, and science by 6, 6, and 8 points, respectively; its results are not directly comparable with the IAR schools’ scores.
Recent changes are mixed rather than uniformly upward or downward. High School’s grade 11 ACT margins over state narrowed from 29 to 6 points in ELA, 28 to 6 in math, and 15 to 8 in science between 2024–25 and 2025–26. By contrast, grade 10 PreACT results improved in all three subjects, with the school’s margin over state widening in each.
