Winfield Middle School

Summary:

Winfield Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Winfield, Kansas, with a student population of 499. The school is part of the Winfield School District, which is ranked 205 out of 266 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Winfield Middle School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past decade, dropping from a high of 92nd out of 355 Kansas middle schools in 2012-2013 to its current ranking of 274th out of 362 in 2023-2024. The school consistently underperforms the state average in proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with relatively high rankings for Hispanic students but very low rankings for White students and students of low socioeconomic status. Winfield Middle School has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 48.74% in 2020-2021 to 74.1% in 2021-2022, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Marvin Sisk Middle School in the Douglass Public Schools district and Udall Middle School in the Udall district, Winfield Middle School's performance is generally lower. This suggests that the school may need to learn from the practices and strategies of these higher-performing schools to address the equity and opportunity gaps within its student population and improve overall academic achievement.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
