Summary

Sinton Elementary in Sinton, TX, serves 458 students in grades 3 through 5 as part of the Sinton Independent School District (Isd), a mid-sized district in the Coastal Bend region. The school has shown a strong recent upward trend, climbing from the 35th percentile statewide in 2023-2024 to the 50th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 3-star rating for the first time in several years. This places Sinton Elementary as a solid middle-of-the-pack performer compared to nearby schools, significantly outperforming Woodroe Petty Elementary in Taft ISD (15th percentile) but lagging behind high-achieving schools like Calallen West Intermediate (81st percentile) in the Calallen Independent School District (Isd).

The most dramatic improvement at Sinton Elementary has been in serving students from low socio-economic status (SES) backgrounds, who make up over 66% of the student body. The school's effectiveness with this group jumped from the 22nd percentile in 2023-2024 to the 56th percentile in 2025-2026—a remarkable 34-point gain. Similarly, support for Special Education students has surged from the 33rd to the 59th percentile over the same period. However, the school faces a persistent gender performance gap, ranking in the 58th percentile for male students but only the 38th percentile for female students in 2025-2026, a 20-point difference that has remained consistent for three years.

Academically, Sinton Elementary shows uneven results. Reading scores are generally close to or above state averages, with 4th Grade Reading at 54.66% proficiency in 2025-2026 (vs. state 53.04%). Mathematics remains a challenge, with 3rd Grade Math proficiency at just 23.61% in 2024-2025 (vs. state 44.88%), though 2025-2026 shows some improvement. Notably, the school spends $11,934 per student—higher than higher-performing peers like Clark Elementary ($10,258) in the Gregory-Portland Independent School District (Isd)—suggesting potential inefficiencies in resource allocation. The school's Gifted and Talented program also saw a sharp decline, dropping from the 65th to the 36th percentile in one year, a trend that warrants attention alongside the successful strategies for low SES students.
