The district as a whole is ranked 66 out of 75 in Vermont and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating that the schools in this district are performing below average compared to other schools in the state.

Based on the data, there are no clear standout schools in the Winooski Incorporated School District. All three schools have low proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, with Winooski Middle School and Winooski High School ranked in the bottom 20% of their respective school types in Vermont. Additionally, the schools have very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 48.7% at J.F. Kennedy Elementary to 61.3% at Winooski Middle School. The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 68.17% at J.F. Kennedy Elementary to 80.22% at Winooski High School, suggest that the district serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may be contributing to the schools' low performance.

Despite the relatively high spending per student, ranging from $14,354 at J.F. Kennedy Elementary to $16,240 at Winooski Middle School, and the low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 6.4 at Winooski High School to 10 at J.F. Kennedy Elementary, the schools in the Winooski Incorporated School District are still struggling to achieve better outcomes. The statewide school digger rank history shows that the schools have consistently been ranked in the bottom tiers of their respective school types, with little to no improvement over the past few years, indicating a need for a comprehensive, data-driven approach to address the root causes of the district's underperformance.
