Summary

Sinton Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the Sinton Independent School District (ISD) in Sinton, Texas. With 470 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sinton Elementary faces several challenges, including lower-than-average test scores on the STAAR exams compared to state and district averages, as well as significant disparities in performance between different student subgroups. While male students and Gifted and Talented students perform relatively better, Hispanic, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students all rank in the bottom 50% of Texas elementary schools. Despite spending more per student than some nearby schools, such as Calallen East Elementary and Clark Elementary, Sinton Elementary's academic performance remains below average.

To address these challenges, Sinton Elementary may need to focus on targeted interventions, equitable resource allocation, and aligning its practices with successful neighboring schools in the Calallen Independent School District, Gregory-Portland Independent School District, and Odem-Edroy Independent School District.
