Summary:
Winn Parish, Louisiana has only one elementary school, Winnfield Primary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. The school's performance has declined over the past three years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 379 out of 730 Louisiana elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 507 out of 666 in 2024-2025, earning a 1-star rating.
Winnfield Primary School's proficiency rates in LEAP Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) are generally lower than the Winn Parish and Louisiana state averages, with some exceptions. In 2024-2025, the school's 4th-grade Mathematics proficiency (63%) was on par with the state average (65%), and in 2023-2024, its 3rd-grade Mathematics proficiency (65%) was higher than the state average (62%). However, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (77.41% in 2023-2024), indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Additionally, Winnfield Primary School has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6% in 2023-2024, which is significantly higher than the state average. This high rate of chronic absenteeism could negatively impact student learning and academic outcomes, and addressing the root causes should be a priority for the school and district.
