These schools serve a total of 506 students, with economic diversity reflected in free/reduced lunch rates ranging from about 40% to 49%. The district’s cohesive "feeder pattern" creates a strong educational pipeline, with each school building on the success of the previous one.
Windthorst High School stands out for its exceptional academic outcomes, including a 100% graduation rate and 0% dropout rate. Its End-of-Course exam proficiency rates are dramatically above state averages—97.22% in Algebra I and 89.19% in Biology—and the school has improved to the 93rd percentile statewide. The high school also benefits from a low student-teacher ratio of 8.9:1 and spends $15,352 per student, 62% more than the elementary school. Meanwhile, Windthorst Elementary achieves top-tier results with less funding, consistently ranking in the 94th to 97th percentile and earning a 5-star rating for three consecutive years. Its 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 65.71% is more than double the state average, highlighting a particularly strong science curriculum.
An interesting finding is the 7th-grade math anomaly at Windthorst Jh, where only 30.77% of students were proficient in 2025-2026—a stark contrast to the school’s otherwise strong math scores of 75% in 6th grade and 70.18% in 8th grade. This dip may indicate a curriculum gap or a challenging transition in math concepts. Additionally, the middle school’s 8th-grade social studies scores are a hidden strength, with 63.89% proficient—more than double the state average. Overall, these schools demonstrate that a small, well-coordinated district can achieve exceptional results, with the high school’s low student-teacher ratio and personalized instruction likely contributing to its perfect graduation rate and top-tier test scores.
