Summary

Winfield Middle School is a public middle school in Winfield, Kansas, serving 473 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Winfield School District, which is ranked 221 out of 264 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Winfield Middle School has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 112 out of 358 Kansas middle schools in 2016-2017 to its current ranking of 304 out of 363 in 2024-2025.

Academically, Winfield Middle School consistently underperforms the state average in proficiency across all grade levels and subject areas. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were significantly lower than the state averages in English Language Arts (31.43% vs. 44.47%), Mathematics (21.76% vs. 38.73%), and Science (29.65% vs. 41.44%). This trend has persisted over the past several years, with the school's proficiency rates lagging behind the state in most subject areas. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with its Hispanic students performing relatively well but its White, Multi-racial, low socioeconomic status, and students with disabilities struggling.

Winfield Middle School also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.5% to 27.5% over the past few years, and relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 1.0% to 2.1%. When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Marvin Sisk Middle School in Douglass, KS, and Udall Middle School in Udall, KS, Winfield Middle School performs significantly worse in academic proficiency, particularly in Mathematics and Science. The school and the Winfield School District will need to implement comprehensive improvement strategies to address these challenges and better support the academic and social-emotional needs of all students.
