Summary

Wink High School is a small, rural school in Wink, TX, serving 211 students in grades 7 through 12 within the Wink-Loving Independent School District (Isd). The school stands out for its perfect student retention, achieving a 100% graduation rate and 0% dropout rate for five consecutive years—a remarkable feat compared to nearby Monahans High School (96.5% graduation) and Kermit High School (98.7% graduation). This success is likely driven by its small size, low student-teacher ratio of 8:1, and high per-student spending of $22,895, which allows for individualized attention that larger schools cannot easily replicate.

Academically, Wink High School excels in English Language Arts, with English II Reading proficiency at 72.41% in 2025-2026, far outpacing Monahans (48.80%) and Kermit (49.12%), as well as the state average (59.88%). The school also shows strong performance in Biology (84.38% proficient) and has made dramatic improvements in supporting special education students, who jumped from the 9th percentile statewide in 2023-2024 to the 85th percentile (4 stars) in 2025-2026. However, math remains a challenge, with 8th-grade Math proficiency at just 10% (vs. 47.24% state) and Algebra I at 42.86% (vs. 54.03% state), suggesting a need for targeted intervention in this subject.

The school’s overall ranking has shown a strong upward trend, moving from the 42nd percentile in 2022-2023 to the 65th percentile in 2025-2026. While performance for some student subgroups, like those from low socio-economic backgrounds, can vary year-to-year, the school’s consistent improvement and perfect graduation rate highlight its commitment to every student. For parents seeking a supportive, resource-rich environment where students are less likely to fall through the cracks, Wink High School offers a compelling option, especially for those prioritizing strong English and science instruction.
