Best Public Schools in Winfield, KS

Summary:

The city of Winfield, Kansas is home to 6 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Winfield school district. While the district as a whole struggles, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, a few schools stand out in the area.

Whittier Elementary is the top-performing school, with the highest test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across the district. Lowell Elementary also performs well, ranking second in the district. In contrast, Irving Elementary and Country View Elementary lag behind, with lower test scores and rankings.
