Summary

Sanford-Fritch Elementary in Fritch, TX, serves 344 students in grades PK-5 and is part of the Sanford-Fritch Independent School District (Isd), a small-town district with a middle-of-the-pack state ranking.

This school stands out for its exceptional success with Hispanic students, who ranked in the 88th percentile statewide in 2024-2025—a dramatic turnaround from just a few years ago. However, overall performance is volatile, swinging between 2 and 3 stars over the last decade, and the school currently ranks in the 53rd percentile. A persistent weakness is mathematics, where scores consistently fall below the state average in every grade. On the bright side, 5th-grade science is a clear strength, with 44% of students proficient compared to the state average of 30%. The school also benefits from a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 12:1 and spends $11,744 per student, which is higher than nearby schools like West Texas Elementary ($10,628 per student) in the Plemons-Stinnett-Phillips Consolidated Independent School D.

Compared to its neighbors, Sanford-Fritch outperforms Paul Belton Elementary, Crockett Elementary, and Gateway Elementary in the Borger Independent School District (Isd), which have larger class sizes and lower spending. Yet it lags behind West Texas Elementary, which achieves higher and more stable results with fewer resources. The school’s main challenges are improving math instruction and better serving its White and Special Education students, who currently rank in the 23rd and 19th percentiles, respectively. With its small classes and higher spending, Sanford-Fritch has the foundation to improve—it now needs to replicate its success with Hispanic students across all groups.
