Summary

Winona High School is a public high school in Winona, Texas, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 305 students. The school is part of the Winona Independent School District, which is ranked 631 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past several years, Winona High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas high schools, typically between 1,000-1,300 out of around 1,900 schools.

Winona High School's academic performance, as measured by STAAR EOC (End of Course) exam proficiency rates, is generally below the state and district averages across all subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's Algebra I proficiency rate was 20.21%, compared to the district's 29.91% and the state's 47.01%. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with relatively stronger performance for Hispanic and English Language Learner students, but struggles with African American, Special Education, and Gifted and Talented student populations. Winona High School has a four-year graduation rate that has fluctuated between 92.1% and 96.6% over the past few years, which is generally on par with or slightly below the state average, and a consistently low dropout rate ranging from 0.2% to 0.6% in recent years.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Tyler Independent School District's Early College High School, Winona High School generally performs worse academically, with lower proficiency rates on STAAR EOC exams and lower rankings from SchoolDigger. This suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a significant role in the school's outcomes, as Winona High School has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 79.86% to 82.3% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the past few years. By addressing these challenges and implementing targeted interventions, Winona High School could work towards improving its overall educational outcomes and providing a more equitable learning environment for its students.
