High Schools in Sinton Independent School District (Isd)

The Sinton Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to two high schools: Sinton High School and the Juvenile Detention Center. While Sinton High School is the larger and better-performing of the two, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, the Juvenile Detention Center faces significant challenges, ranking 1891 out of 1987 Texas high schools and earning a 0-star rating.

Sinton High School's academic performance, as measured by STAAR EOC proficiency rates, is generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages, suggesting room for improvement. In contrast, the Juvenile Detention Center has extremely low STAAR EOC proficiency rates, with a 0% proficiency rate in Algebra I. Both schools, however, have a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a need for targeted support and resources to address socioeconomic disparities.

The stark difference in per-student spending between the two schools, with the Juvenile Detention Center spending more than double the amount per student compared to Sinton High School, raises questions about the allocation of resources and the effectiveness of the spending. While Sinton High School has a strong 96.0% four-year graduation rate, the Juvenile Detention Center's academic outcomes warrant further investigation to understand the underlying factors and identify opportunities for improvement.
