Summary:
In zip code 71483, there is a single elementary school, Winnfield Primary School, serving grades PK through 4 with 485 students in the Winnfield area of Louisiana.
Winnfield Primary School is facing significant challenges, most notably a chronic absenteeism rate of 40.7%—nearly double the state average of 22.5% and essentially tied with the Winn Parish district rate. This high absenteeism is likely a major factor in the school's declining state ranking, which has dropped from the 39th percentile (2 stars) in 2023-2024 to the 15th percentile (1 star) in 2025-2026. Academically, the school shows a stark contrast between subjects: Mathematics proficiency (52%) is close to the state average (62%) and actually exceeds the district average (51%), making it the school's strongest area. However, English Language Arts proficiency (45%) lags 25 points behind the state (70%), and Social Studies (37%) is 18 points below the state (55%).
The school serves a high-poverty population, with 73.61% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, and operates within a Winn Parish district that itself underperforms state averages in every subject. The student-teacher ratio of 14.4:1 is reasonable, but the combination of systemic absenteeism, a struggling district, and high economic disadvantage creates a difficult environment for academic success. The most urgent takeaway is the need for targeted interventions in literacy and attendance to reverse the school's downward performance trend.
