Summary:
The 71483 zip code area is home to three schools - Winnfield Primary School, Winnfield Middle School, and Winnfield High School - all of which serve the Winn Parish district. While the schools face some challenges, they also demonstrate pockets of academic strength that can be leveraged for improvement.
Among the standout findings, Winnfield Primary School has relatively high proficiency rates in Math and ELA compared to district and state averages, particularly in 4th grade. However, the school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6%. Winnfield Middle School performs better in ELA than in Math, with proficiency rates closer to or above the district and state averages, but it also struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate. At the high school level, Winnfield High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 83.2%, though its academic performance on end-of-course exams is mixed.
Across all three schools, the data reveals consistently high chronic absenteeism rates of 24.6%, which is a significant concern that requires further investigation and targeted interventions. Additionally, the schools serve a population with high economic disadvantage, as evidenced by the large percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 71.24% to 79.22%. While the student-teacher ratios are relatively low, the uneven academic performance across grade levels and subject areas suggests a need for more tailored instructional strategies and support to ensure all students are meeting proficiency standards.
