Winona Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with low performance on STAAR assessments that are significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades is 27.78%, 37.65%, and 37.08%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 52.02%, 53.73%, and 57.83%. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 88.55% to 90.44% in recent years, is a key factor contributing to its overall low academic performance.

Comparing Winona Elementary to the nearby higher-performing schools, such as T.J. Austin Elementary, Wise Elementary, Bonner Elementary, and Orr Elementary, highlights the need for the Winona Independent School District to closely examine the factors contributing to Winona Elementary's underperformance and implement strategies to improve student outcomes.
