Best Public Schools in Winnie, TX

The four public schools in Winnie, Texas, all part of the East Chambers Independent School District (Isd), serve 1,562 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade in a community where economic disadvantage rates are high, ranging from 54% to 71% across campuses.

East Chambers High School stands out as the district's flagship with a 98.1% graduation rate and exceptional U.S. History scores (over 10 points above the state average), though its Algebra I and Biology results lag behind. East Chambers Elementary (grades 3-5) is a math powerhouse, consistently outperforming state averages by 10-20 percentage points in every grade, but its 5th-grade science proficiency (21%) falls below the state norm. East Chambers J H presents a stark paradox: its 8th-grade Algebra I students achieve over 84% proficiency—far exceeding state averages—yet its 6th and 7th-grade math scores are well below state levels (e.g., 7th-grade math at 15.85% vs. state 29.41%). East Chambers Pri (PK-2) lacks test score data but has the highest poverty rate (71%) and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.7.

The district ranks in the 60th percentile statewide with a 3-star rating, but resource allocation varies: the high school spends the most per student ($11,930) and has a lower student-teacher ratio (13.6), while the middle school spends the least ($10,162) and has the highest ratio (15.9), correlating with its 2-star rating. The elementary school's strong math foundation seems to falter after 5th grade, suggesting a critical transition issue. The high school's U.S. History success is an anomaly against weaker core subjects, and the primary school remains an academic "black box" despite its high poverty rate, highlighting areas for potential early intervention.
