District-Level NCES Analysis
Winn Parish operates 6 public schools serving 2,012 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Louisiana. The school portfolio breaks down into 4 combined, 1 high, 1 elementary schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Winn Parish.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $15,294 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 188 Louisiana districts by per-pupil spending. See how Louisiana compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 28.1% local, 46.6% state, and 25.4% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 54/100, ranked #78 of 175 in Louisiana against a state average of 50, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 2 of 6 schools offering Advanced Placement (2 AP courses district-wide), a 295.4:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 22.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 61.7% White, 31.7% African American, 3.4% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Winnfield Primary School, with a diversity index of 58.6/100.
Its largest campus is Winnfield Primary School, enrolling 485 students (25% of the district's total enrollment).
Winnfield Primary School accounts for 24.1% of all Winn Parish student enrollment
That concentration means Winn Parish-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Winn Parish school enrollment varies 2.1× across entities
Winn Parish school enrollment ranges from 230 students (lowest) to 485 students (highest), a spread of 255 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Winn Parish has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 63.4% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Eligibility here is approaching the 75% concentration-grant threshold; it does not yet unlock the extra funding tier but sits meaningfully above the baseline 50% majority mark. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
Winn Parish student-counselor ratio is 295:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Variation between sub-units within Winn Parish is typically wider than the Winn Parish-aggregate figure suggests.
Winn Parish chronic absenteeism rate is 22.2% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Variation between sub-units within Winn Parish is typically wider than the Winn Parish-aggregate figure suggests.
