Summary

Winterfield Elementary is a public elementary school in Charlotte, North Carolina, serving 459 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district, which is ranked 119 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Winterfield Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of North Carolina elementary schools over the past several years, with a 0 or 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school significantly underperforms the state and district averages in proficiency rates for Math, Reading, and Science across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 26.7% of 3rd graders were proficient in Math, compared to 64.1% statewide and 66.7% in the district. Winterfield's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, who rank in the bottom 30-40% of their respective statewide subgroups.

While Winterfield Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.2 to 17 students per teacher, the nearby schools, such as Chantilly Montessori and Shamrock Gardens Elementary, generally outperform Winterfield in academic proficiency, particularly in Math and Reading. This suggests that the school's low performance is not solely attributable to the challenges of serving a high-poverty student population, and that other factors, such as instructional practices or school leadership, may be contributing to the poor academic outcomes. Targeted interventions and a deeper understanding of the factors contributing to Winterfield's struggles are crucial in order to develop a comprehensive strategy for improvement.
