Summary

Sinton High School is a public high school located in Sinton, Texas, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 601 students. The school is part of the Sinton Independent School District, which is ranked 616 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sinton High School's performance has fluctuated over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 919 out of 1,974 Texas high schools in 2024-2025 to 1,312 out of 1,797 in 2017-2018. The school's rating from SchoolDigger has also varied, with 3 stars in 2024-2025 and 2023-2024, but only 1 star in 2017-2018 and 2016-2017. While the school has performed well in certain student subgroups, such as African American students and English Language Learners, it has struggled with others, like Special Education and At-Risk students.

Compared to nearby schools, Sinton High School's performance is generally lower than that of Calallen High School and Gregory-Portland High School, which have higher statewide rankings and better academic outcomes. However, Sinton High School outperforms some smaller, more rural schools in the area, such as Taft High School and Coastal Horizons Academy. The school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 65.72% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, may contribute to its academic challenges.
