Winfield

Winfield has six public schools serving elementary, middle and high school grades, with results that differ noticeably from school to school and by subject. In 2025–26, the six-school averages were 41% in ELA, 35% in math and 37% in science, all below state averages of 46%, 41% and 38%, respectively. The clearest overall finding is the wide variation: the gap between the highest- and lowest-scoring schools reached 21 points in ELA, 23 points in math and 26 points in science.

Lowell Elementary is the strongest all-around standout in ELA, leading at 55%—13 points above Whittier Elementary, the next-highest school, and 9 points above the state. Whittier leads science at 51%, with Country View Elementary close behind at 50%; both are above the state’s 38%. Whittier and Country View also lead math, each at about 41%, near the state average. At the other end, Irving Elementary is lowest in all three all-grade subjects: 34% in ELA, 18% in math and 25% in science—12, 23 and 13 points below state results. Same-grade results add important detail: Country View’s grade 5 math score of 57% was above the state’s 45%, while Irving scored 15%.

Results improved overall from the prior year, but not everywhere: the six-school ELA average rose 5 points and math rose 3, while Irving declined in all three subjects. Among five schools with comparable science results, the average rose 4 points as the state result fell 3; Country View’s large science increase contributed to that change. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentiles rose from 2023–24 to 2025–26 at Winfield High (46 to 52), Winfield Middle School (24 to 31) and Lowell (47 to 49), but fell at Whittier, Irving and Country View. As additional context, elementary student–teacher ratios range from 13.1 at Lowell to 14.3 at Whittier; Lowell and Whittier report free/reduced-lunch rates of 58% and 54%, respectively. At Winfield High, chronic absenteeism was 34%, compared with 18% statewide.
