Summary

Winona Elementary is a public elementary school in Winona, Missouri, serving grades PK-8 with 313 students. The school is part of the Winona R-III School District, which is ranked 91 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 4-star rating.

Winona Elementary has consistently performed well on state assessments, with several grade levels scoring significantly above the state average in mathematics, science, and English language arts. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 6th and 7th grade students at Winona Elementary scored 76% and 75.7% proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state average of 45.5% and 43.2%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly noteworthy for its low-socioeconomic status (SES) students, who have ranked among the top 5-33 elementary schools in Missouri in recent years. However, the school faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 33.8% to 37.2% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Compared to the nearby schools of Van Buren Elementary, Birch Tree Elementary, and Eminence Elementary, Winona Elementary generally outperforms these schools on state assessments, particularly in mathematics and English language arts. The school's low student-teacher ratio and targeted support for low-SES students may be contributing factors to its strong academic performance, though the high chronic absenteeism rates are an area of concern that the school should investigate further.
