Summary

Sands Consolidated Independent School District is an alternative public school located in Ackerly, Texas, serving grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 246 students. This school has consistently demonstrated strong academic performance, with high graduation rates, low dropout rates, and test scores that generally exceed the state average.

Sands Consolidated ISD has maintained graduation rates ranging from 90.9% to 100% over the past 3 school years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has had very low dropout rates, ranging from 0% to 1% during the same period, much lower than the state average. On STAAR assessments, Sands Consolidated ISD outperforms the state in 13 out of 19 tested areas. However, the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as indicated by the high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 58.94% to 63.45% over the past 3 years.

Compared to the nearby Grady School and Klondike ISD, Sands Consolidated ISD has lower test scores in some areas but higher graduation and lower dropout rates. This suggests the school may be more effective at keeping students engaged and on track to graduation, despite potentially facing greater socioeconomic challenges. The school's higher per-student spending of $13,532 in 2020-2021 may indicate a focus on providing additional resources and support to its students, contributing to its strong performance.
