Summary:
The city of Sinton, Texas is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is a juvenile detention center). The schools in this district serve a predominantly Hispanic student population, with high rates of economic disadvantage as indicated by free and reduced-price lunch eligibility.
Among the standout schools, Sinton High School boasts a strong 96% four-year graduation rate and relatively high performance on some STAAR exams, though it struggles with Algebra I. E Merle Smith Middle School stands out for its 100% proficiency rate on the Algebra I STAAR exam, but faces challenges in other math and reading performance areas. The Juvenile Detention Center has significantly higher per-student spending but very poor academic outcomes, with a 0% proficiency rate on the Algebra I exam.
Overall, the Sinton Independent School District faces significant performance gaps compared to state averages, particularly in reading and math, as well as concerns around equity and providing equal educational opportunities for all students. Addressing these challenges will be crucial for improving the long-term success and growth of the Sinton school system.
