Summary

West Texas Elementary in Stinnett, TX, is a small, rural K-5 school serving 209 students as part of the high-performing Plemons-Stinnett-Phillips Consolidated Independent School District, which ranks in the 82nd percentile statewide.

This school stands out as a top-tier choice in the Texas Panhandle, consistently outperforming nearby schools like Sanford-Fritch Elementary and Crockett Elementary in Borger Independent School District (Isd). With a 4-star rating and ranking in the 74th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year, West Texas Elementary has shown a dramatic turnaround from a low point in 2016-2017. Its academic proficiency rates are often 20-30 percentage points higher than its neighbors—for example, 74% of 3rd graders met reading standards compared to just 33% at Crockett Elementary. The school also benefits from a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 11.1:1 and a lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students (32.5%) compared to nearby schools, which often exceed 60%.

One of the school's most impressive strengths is its exceptional support for special education students, ranking in the 94th percentile statewide in 2024-2025. It also excels with gifted and talented students, ranking 17th out of nearly 3,000 schools in 2021-2022. However, 5th grade science scores have been a persistent weak point, though they recently improved to exceed the state average. Overall, West Texas Elementary offers a strong, well-rounded education with small class sizes and a clear competitive advantage in the region, making it a premier choice for families seeking academic excellence and inclusive support.
