The clearest shared concern is that both younger schools’ 2025–2026 all-grades proficiency results are below state levels. Math is the largest gap: Winner Middle School - 02 is 24 points below the state, making middle-school math the most pressing comparable result.

Winner Middle School - 02 leads in all-grades ELA, at 38% versus 30% at the elementary school, an 8-point advantage. At Winner High School - 01, grade 11 ACT ELA is the strongest current subject relative to the state: 44% versus 48%, a 4-point gap. ACT math is 16% versus 34% statewide, an 18-point gap.

Results at the two younger schools moved farther from the state between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026: their average ELA proficiency fell 5 points and average math fell 2 points; the average state gaps widened by 3 and 2 points, respectively. SchoolDigger rankings also dropped: elementary went from the 34th to the 13th percentile, middle from the 29th to the 13th, and high school from the 36th to the 18th. In 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible students made up 43% at the elementary school, 47% at the middle school, and 36% at the high school; student–teacher ratios were 16, 15, and 15.1, respectively. Chronic absenteeism in 2025–2026 was 21% at the elementary school and 30% at the middle school, compared with 20% statewide. The high school’s 2024–2025 Smarter Balanced results and 2025–2026 ACT results are not a like-for-like trend.
