Winn Parish operates 6 public schools serving 2,012 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Louisiana. The school portfolio breaks down into 4 other, 1 high, 1 elementary schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 1,962 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Winn Parish County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $15,586 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 28.1% local, 46.6% state, and 25.4% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $65,955 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 51/100, ranked #86 of 176 in Louisiana against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.
Academic infrastructure includes 2 of 6 schools offering Advanced Placement (2 AP courses district-wide), a 295.4:1 student-counselor ratio, 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.
Winnfield Primary School accounts for 24.7% of all Winn Parish student enrollment
That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Winn Parish-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. 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). Areas above 75% eligibility receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. 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.
