Summary:
Tinsley Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 595 students in grades 1-5. The school is part of the Houston Independent School District (HISD), which is ranked 572 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Tinsley Elementary faces several challenges, including a significantly higher Hispanic student population (91.43%) compared to nearby schools, lower academic performance on STAAR tests across most grade levels and subjects, and uneven performance across different student subgroups. For example, in 2023-2024, only 34.15% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 44.66% for HISD and 48.85% for Texas. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with female students, English Language Learners, and "At Risk" students performing better than their male, African American, and Gifted and Talented counterparts.
Tinsley Elementary's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by the over 98% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may be a significant factor contributing to the school's lower academic performance compared to the surrounding schools, such as Valley West Elementary, Elrod Elementary, and Parker Elementary, which have higher STAAR test scores and better overall rankings. While Tinsley Elementary's spending per student has increased over the years, it is still lower than some of the nearby schools, which may impact the school's ability to provide resources and support for its students. Addressing these challenges through targeted interventions, resource allocation, and collaboration with the community could help Tinsley Elementary improve its academic outcomes and provide a more equitable education for its students.
