Summary

Winnsboro High School is a mid-sized high school in Winnsboro, TX, serving 487 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Winnsboro Independent School District (Isd), which has a 2-star rating. The school has experienced a notable decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from the 80th percentile in 2020-2021 to the 39th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year, a steeper fall than nearby schools like Harmony High School (75th percentile) and Pittsburg High School (66th percentile). Over half of its students (53.39%) are economically disadvantaged, and the school spends $12,835 per student, which is less than Quitman High School ($14,500) but more than Harmony ($12,109) and Pittsburg ($12,365).

A key differentiator is the school's polarized academic performance: it excels in English II Reading, with 63.16% of students proficient (above the state average of 59.88%), but struggles significantly in Algebra I, where only 17.53% are proficient—far below the state average (54.03%) and nearby schools like Pittsburg (63.36%) and Harmony (55.38%). This suggests a potential imbalance in instructional focus or student preparedness between literacy and math. Additionally, the school's effectiveness for student subgroups has been inconsistent; for example, performance for African American students dropped from the 96th percentile in 2020-2021 to the 8th percentile in 2023-2024, indicating a lack of stable support systems.

Despite these academic challenges, Winnsboro maintains a high graduation rate of 96.6% and a very low dropout rate of 0.2%, which contrasts with its low test scores and raises questions about college and career readiness. Compared to Harmony High School, just 17 miles away, Winnsboro underperforms in nearly every metric, including overall rank and Algebra I proficiency, suggesting that factors beyond poverty—such as instructional strategies—play a role. The school's highest ranking occurred during the pandemic-altered 2020-2021 school year, and its subsequent decline indicates a structural challenge in improving student outcomes.
