Summary:
Zip code 37892 contains a single school, Winfield Elementary School, a small PK-8 school serving 198 students in the Scott County, Tennessee area. Winfield Elementary School, part of Scott County Schools, functions as both the elementary and middle school option for this community, as the zip code has no separate middle or high school. Located in Winfield, Tennessee, this school spans grades PK through 8, making it the sole educational option within the zip code.
Winfield Elementary School presents a mixed performance profile. Upper-grade science and social studies are clear strengths: 8th grade science proficiency stands at 70.6% versus 44.3% statewide, and the all-grades social studies rate of 57.1% exceeds both the district (41.7%) and state (51.4%) averages. Math also improves significantly in the upper grades, with 7th grade at 52.4% and 8th grade at 52.9%, both above state averages. However, 3rd grade math proficiency is just 5.6%, roughly 37 points below the state average, and English Language Arts trails the state at every grade level, with 5th grade ELA at only 25.0%.
Chronic absenteeism is a notable concern, with 26.1% of students chronically absent, well above the district rate of 17.1% and the state rate of 18.3%. The school improved its state ranking from the 23rd to the 30th percentile over the last year, but it remains a 1-star school overall. With roughly 20 students per grade, extreme percentages should be interpreted with some caution, since a single student represents about 5% of a grade-level cohort. After 8th grade, students must transition to a high school elsewhere in Scott County Schools.
