Sinton High School

Summary:

Sinton High School is a public high school in Sinton, Texas, serving 610 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Sinton Independent School District, which is ranked 689 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sinton High School stands out for its high Hispanic student population (78.52%), which is significantly higher than the state average. The school also maintains strong graduation rates, ranging from 94.6% to 98.5% over the past five years, and relatively low dropout rates, between 0.3% and 1.0%. However, the school's performance on STAAR End-of-Course exams is mixed, with better results in subjects like English I Reading and U.S. History, but lower scores in Algebra I and English II Reading. Additionally, a high percentage of Sinton High School students (67.21%) receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage.

Compared to nearby schools like Woodsboro High School, Tuloso-Midway Academic Career Center, and Calallen High School, Sinton High School generally performs below average, with lower test scores and rankings. However, the school's performance is on par with or better than some of the other lower-performing schools in the area, suggesting a need for the Sinton Independent School District to address systemic challenges across the region. The district's Juvenile Detention Center, in particular, has extremely low academic performance, with 0% proficiency in Algebra I, highlighting the need for specialized support and interventions for students in the juvenile justice system.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
