Summary

Winnsboro J H is a moderately sized middle school in the Winnsboro Independent School District (Isd), serving 324 students in grades 6-8 in a rural setting. The school holds a 3-star rating and ranks in the 59th percentile statewide, which places it as the lowest-performing middle school among its nearby peers. For context, surrounding schools like Pittsburg J H, Harmony J H, Mt Vernon Middle, and Quitman J H all hold 4-star ratings and rank significantly higher, making Winnsboro J H a clear outlier in overall academic standing.

A key area of concern is 7th-grade mathematics, where only 20.93% of students were proficient in the 2025-2026 school year—the lowest rate for any grade or subject among all comparison schools. This is well below the state average of 29.41% and far behind Pittsburg J H's 44.19% proficiency. However, the school shows a unique strength in its Algebra I program for advanced 8th graders, with 78.95% of those students scoring proficient on the End-of-Course exam. This contrast suggests the school effectively accelerates top math students but may need to strengthen core math instruction for the majority. On a positive note, 8th-grade Social Studies is a consistent bright spot, with proficiency rates above the state average for three consecutive years.

Winnsboro J H benefits from a very favorable student-teacher ratio of 9.9:1, the best among all nearby schools, which could support more individualized attention. Despite this resource advantage and a relatively lower percentage of students on free/reduced lunch (64.2%) compared to Pittsburg (75.25%), the school is being outperformed by its neighbors. This suggests the challenge lies more in instructional strategies and curriculum implementation than in funding or class size. The school has also shown a recent downward trend, dropping from a 74th percentile ranking (4 stars) in 2022-2023 to its current 3-star rating, while nearby schools have maintained or improved their standings.
