Summary

Winget Park Elementary is a public PK–5 school in southwest Charlotte serving 677 students in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. It ranks 231st out of 1,492 North Carolina elementary schools for 2025–2026 — the 85th percentile and four stars — making it the highest-ranked school in the immediate area. It edges out Palisades Park Elementary (82nd percentile) and sits well above nearby Steele Creek Elementary, Berewick Elementary, River Gate Elementary, Lake Wylie Elementary, and Nations Ford Elementary. Winget Park beats both district and state averages in every subject and grade tested. The school's strongest results come in 3rd and 4th grade: 76.9% of 4th graders read proficiently compared with 59.2% districtwide. By 5th grade, the school stays above average, but the gap narrows.

Winget Park's chronic absenteeism rate is 14.1%, about half the district average of 26.8% and well below the statewide 24.2%. Among nearby schools, only Unity Classical Charter School is lower, at 10.0%. The school also finishes very strong when its students are compared with the same student groups across North Carolina: African American students rank in the 94th percentile, English Learner students in the 92nd, and low-income students in the 87th. Female students (92nd percentile) outpace male students (69th percentile), while special education students have climbed from the 31st percentile in 2023–2024 to the 53rd percentile this year.

About 44.3% of Winget Park students qualify for free/reduced-price lunch, a much lower share than high-poverty neighbors such as River Gate Elementary, Steele Creek Elementary, Berewick Elementary, Lake Wylie Elementary, and Nations Ford Elementary, where the rate approaches 99%. Winget Park's rise also reflects a post-pandemic rebound: after sitting between the 46th and 48th percentiles from 2021 to 2023, it climbed to the 73rd, then 81st, then 85th percentile. That improvement hasn't come from unusual resources; per-pupil spending of about $9,518 and student-teacher ratios are in line with other area schools. Given low absenteeism, strong results for many student groups, and three years of steady improvement, Winget Park stands out as one of the more compelling elementary options in the southwest Charlotte area.
