Summary:
The Plemons-Stinnett-Phillips Consolidated Independent School District is home to a single elementary school, West Texas Elementary, which serves 209 students in grades Kindergarten through 5th in the small community of Stinnett, Texas.
West Texas Elementary is a standout for its consistent high performance, earning a 4-star rating for three consecutive school years. The district ranks in the 82nd percentile in Texas, placing it well above average. A key advantage is its very low student-teacher ratio of 11.1, which allows for a highly personalized learning environment. The school outperforms state averages in most subjects, particularly in 3rd and 5th grade Reading and Math. However, performance is not uniform across all areas. While Reading scores are stable and strong, Math scores show dramatic swings, with 5th grade Math proficiency jumping from 56.82% to 80.77% in one year, while 4th grade Math dropped from 62.96% to 40.91% over the same period. Science is a relative weakness, with only 36.36% of 5th graders proficient, though this is still above the state average.
For parents, this school offers a small, supportive environment with strong overall academics, particularly in Reading. The volatility in Math scores suggests that while the school excels in some grades, there may be inconsistencies in math instruction or curriculum across grade levels. The dramatic improvement in 5th grade Math is a positive sign, but the decline in 4th grade Math warrants attention. Overall, West Texas Elementary provides a solid education with a focus on personalized learning, though parents may want to monitor math progress closely, especially during the transition to 4th grade.
