Summary:
The Winnsboro Independent School District (Isd) is served by a single high school, Winnsboro High School, which enrolls 487 students in grades 9 through 12 and has a student-teacher ratio of 11.7:1.
Winnsboro High School presents a mixed picture of performance. On one hand, it boasts a very high graduation rate of 96.6% and an extremely low dropout rate of just 0.2%, suggesting strong student support. On the other hand, its state ranking has declined sharply from the 56th percentile (3 stars) in 2023-2024 to the 39th percentile (2 stars) in 2025-2026. The school shows a stark contrast in academic subjects: it excels in Biology (70.59% proficient, on par with the state) and English II Reading (63.16% proficient, above the state average of 59.88%), but struggles significantly in Algebra I, where only 17.53% of students are proficient compared to the state average of 54.03%. This Algebra I crisis is likely the main driver of the school's recent ranking drop.
For parents, the key takeaway is that Winnsboro High School is a school in transition with clear strengths and weaknesses. While the school keeps students in school and graduates them at a high rate, the low proficiency in Algebra I and U.S. History (60.66% vs. state 70.17%) raises questions about academic rigor. The school has pockets of excellence in Biology and English II, but the significant year-over-year volatility in test scores—such as English I Reading dropping from 58.78% to 43.7%—makes it difficult to identify a stable trend. Addressing the Algebra I deficiency will be critical for the school to reverse its downward ranking trend and ensure its high graduation rate reflects genuine academic preparedness.
