Summary

Winston High is a small public high school serving grades 7-12 in the Winston R-VI school district in Winston, Missouri. With just 57 students, the school's size is significantly smaller than nearby high schools, which could impact the resources, course offerings, and extracurricular activities available to students.

Despite its small size, Winston High has faced significant challenges in recent years. The school's statewide ranking has steadily declined, dropping from 6th out of 528 Missouri high schools in 2010-2011 to 289th out of 367 in the most recent 2024-2025 school year. Test scores are well below state averages, with only 7.8% of students proficient or better in Algebra I in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 45.4%. The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates and declining graduation rates, falling to 90.9% in the 2023-2024 school year.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Maysville Junior-Senior High, Winston High generally performs worse across key metrics. This suggests the school may be facing unique challenges that are impacting its ability to provide a high-quality education to its students. While the school's small size and favorable staffing ratios could be potential strengths, the data indicates that Winston High is struggling to maintain consistent academic achievement and support student success.
