Winter School District

Summary:

The Winter School District in Wisconsin operates three schools: Winter Elementary, Winter High, and Winter Middle. The district faces some challenges, with mixed academic performance across the schools and high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Winter High School stands out as the strongest performer, ranking 211 out of 415 Wisconsin high schools and maintaining a high 4-year graduation rate of 91.0% and a low dropout rate of 1.3%. In contrast, Winter Elementary has mixed academic performance, with 3rd-grade scores above the state average but 4th and 5th-grade scores below. Winter Middle School shows stronger academic performance, with 6th-8th grade ELA and Math scores mostly at or above the state averages.

Across the district, there are significant socioeconomic challenges, with high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 65.38% at Winter High to 84.09% at Winter Middle. Additionally, Winter Elementary has the highest chronic absenteeism rate at 17.7% in 2023-2024. The district may need to address these challenges and ensure equitable funding allocation to improve overall performance.
