Summary:
The Winfield R-IV school district in Missouri operates two elementary schools: Winfield Elementary (grades K-2) and Winfield Intermediate (grades 3-5). Both schools appear to be underperforming compared to the state average on various academic measures, including MAP test scores in mathematics, science, and English language arts.
The data reveals that both Winfield Elementary and Winfield Intermediate have high chronic absenteeism rates of 26.7%, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the schools serve a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentages of students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch (50% at Winfield Elementary and 54.32% at Winfield Intermediate).
Despite the higher-than-average spending per student at both schools ($11,219 at Winfield Elementary and $9,549 at Winfield Intermediate), the consistently low academic performance suggests that the district may need to implement more targeted interventions and strategies to improve student learning outcomes. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and providing additional resources to support the unique needs of the student population should be the district's top priorities.
