Summary

Sinclair Elementary in San Antonio, TX, is a PK-5 campus within the East Central Independent School District (Isd) serving 739 students, and it has experienced a significant decline over the past decade, now ranking in the 16th percentile statewide (1 star) after being at the 50th percentile a decade ago.

Sinclair is the lowest-performing school in its district, and the gap with nearby schools is stark. For example, Highland Forest Elementary, just 3.6 miles away and serving a similar student population, ranks in the 85th percentile (4 stars). In 4th Grade Reading, only 32% of Sinclair students are proficient, compared to 67% at Highland Forest and 66% at Salado Elementary (69th percentile). This contrast suggests the challenges at Sinclair are not solely due to student demographics but likely involve school-level factors like leadership and instructional quality. Science is a critical weakness, with only 10.66% of 5th graders proficient in 2024-2025, far below the state average of 29.57%.

While overall performance is low, some subgroups show relative strength: African American students rank in the 38th percentile and Special Education students in the 39th percentile. However, the school struggles significantly with Male students (11th percentile), White students (11th percentile), and Low Socio-Economic Status students (12th percentile). Sinclair’s student-teacher ratio of 18.8 is the highest in its district, which may hinder individualized instruction. Despite spending $9,228 per student—less than some higher-performing peers like Highland Forest ($10,479)—the key issue appears to be how resources are used, not just how much is spent. For parents considering options, nearby schools like Pecan Valley Elementary (27th percentile) and Oak Crest Elementary (48th percentile) offer higher performance within the same district.
