Tinsley Elementary is now part of a district system that is getting better quickly and has gotten rid of all of its F-rated campuses. The school is currently conducting its yearly Title I Parent Survey to find out how to better serve the Houston community with its new learning tools. The campus also continues to stress the importance of its experienced staff, who have an average of more than ten years of teaching experience, to make sure that the quality of classroom instruction is always high.
