Eastern Ms, Winchester OH - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Eastern Ms

Eastern MS serves the small village of Winchester and nearby communities in Brown County, sitting on a rural campus along US Highway 62. The school enrolls about a quarter-thousand students in grades six through eight, with a student body that is overwhelmingly white and nearly three-fifths qualified for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academic proficiency is uneven across subjects. The school's performance in English language arts is solidly above the midpoint for Brown County districts, with the majority of students meeting proficiency. Science proficiency runs quite strong. Mathematics, however, is the area of concern. Less than half of tested students reached proficiency in math, placing the school below the midpoint among its county peers on overall proficiency. A parent looking into this school should ask directly about the math program, what support exists for students struggling with the subject, and whether the school has made changes to address the gap since test data collection.

The school's enrollment is small and stable within its grade band. Nearly three out of five students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, a marker of economic stress in the surrounding community. The rural setting and the school's distance from Winchester's center are practical realities. There is no fixed-route public transit in the area, and the school operates as a consolidated facility rather than a village-center school, so families will need reliable transportation.

State testing data was the primary window into the school's academic work. Information about special education, English learner services, discipline, attendance, staffing levels, and the curriculum itself was not available. A parent should ask the school directly about these aspects, especially given the math proficiency results and the economic profile of the enrollment. Information on recent changes to the district's programs or operational decisions was not found, so an inquiry to the district office about the school's current initiatives would fill that gap. Beyond academic metrics, visiting the school and speaking with families in Winchester and the surrounding area would give a fuller picture of the peer environment and how the school is experienced day-to-day.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
