Summary

Wink Elementary in Wink, TX, is a small, rural school serving 227 students in grades PK through 6 within the Wink-Loving Independent School District (Isd), and it has transformed from a low-performing institution a decade ago into a consistent top performer, now earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 72nd percentile statewide.

Wink Elementary stands out dramatically from nearby schools in academic performance and resources. For example, in 4th-grade Math, 75% of Wink students were proficient, compared to just 23.61% at Parkway Elementary and 19.4% at Kermit Elementary. This success is supported by a very low student-teacher ratio of 11.5:1 and high per-student spending of $21,382, which is nearly double that of Parkway ($11,221) and significantly more than Kermit ($13,612). These advantages allow Wink to provide individualized attention that larger, more resource-constrained neighboring districts cannot match.

While Wink excels overall, it faces a notable challenge with 6th-grade Reading, where proficiency has consistently fallen below the state average—only 46.15% of 6th graders were proficient recently, compared to the state's 53.52%. Additionally, the school shows a significant gap in supporting its economically disadvantaged students, who ranked in the 19th percentile in 2025-2026, a sharp drop from the previous year. Despite these areas for growth, Wink’s remarkable turnaround and sustained high performance make it a standout choice for families in the region.
