Summary

Winona High is a public high school located in Winona, Missouri, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 127 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 from SchoolDigger.

Over the past decade, Winona High has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger star rating, falling from 26th out of 401 Missouri high schools in 2015-2016 with a 5-star rating to 247th out of 367 schools in 2024-2025 with only a 2-star rating. The school's students consistently underperform compared to the state average on End-of-Course (EOC) assessments in core subjects, and Winona High has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 35.3% to 42.4% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. The school serves a student population with a high percentage of low socioeconomic status (SES) students, with 63.78% to 72.54% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch over the past few years.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Liberty Senior High and Van Buren High, Winona High generally underperforms on key metrics like graduation rates, chronic absenteeism, and academic assessments. The data suggests that Winona High could benefit from a comprehensive review of its educational practices, curriculum, and support systems to identify areas for improvement, particularly in addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates and providing additional resources and support for low-SES students.
