Sanford-Fritch Elementary generally performs above the state average in STAAR testing, particularly in reading, with 61.7% of 3rd graders proficient or better compared to the state's 52.02%. However, the school struggles more in math, with only 38.3% of 3rd graders proficient or better compared to the state's 44.88%. The school has seen varying performance across different student subgroups, with female students consistently outperforming male students and Hispanic students showing improvement in recent years. The school has also seen an increase in per-student spending, from $9,572 in 2018-2019 to $11,744 in 2020-2021, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of around 11-12 students per teacher.

Interestingly, the nearby West Texas Elementary, part of the Plemons-Stinnett-Phillips Consolidated Independent School District, consistently outperforms Sanford-Fritch Elementary in both reading and math STAAR scores, ranking much higher statewide. This suggests that the neighboring district may have more effective educational practices or resources that Sanford-Fritch could learn from.
