Our school system is indeed the heartbeat of the community. Established in 1955, the Winfield City School System operates three schools, serving a student population of approximately 1,300. Administrators, teachers, and support staff strive to meet the needs of each student. Parents and the community offer great support to the school district. By everyone working together we have been able to become one of the top school districts in the State of Alabama.

A dedicated staff, committed learners, and strong parent and community support are strengths of our educational program. Standardized test scores consistently rank the Winfield City Schools among the best of all the school systems in Alabama.

Winfield City Schools is comprised of one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school. The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) accredited the high school in 1958 and the elementary school in 1966. The Winfield Middle School (WMS) was established in 1996 due to increased enrollment at the elementary level. WMS consists of grades five through eight and was accredited by SACS in 2001. The vision of Winfield City Schools, “A Tradition of Excellence”, exemplifies our commitment to continued improvement in the quality of education. Continuous improvement is truly a tradition within our system.
