Summary:
The S And S Consolidated Independent School District in Texas serves approximately 944 students across three schools: S And S Cons Elementary (PK-4), S And S Cons Middle (5-8), and S And S Cons High School (9-12). The district ranks in the 28th percentile statewide, earning a 1-star rating, but individual schools show dramatically different strengths and challenges.
S And S Cons Middle stands out as the district's brightest spot, with a strong rank history and an exceptional Algebra I program where 100% of 8th graders scored proficient—far exceeding the state average. However, this success masks a "two-tiered" math system, as general 8th-grade math scores lag behind state averages. In contrast, S And S Cons Elementary shows the most alarming trend, with its rank plummeting from the 64th to the 28th percentile in a single year—a dramatic decline that demands immediate attention. S And S Cons High School serves as the district's stabilizer, boasting a 98.6% graduation rate and a 0.6% dropout rate, yet struggles with academic proficiency, particularly in Algebra I where only 15.49% of students are proficient.
Key metrics reveal an inverse relationship between spending and performance: the high school spends the most per student ($13,950) with the smallest class sizes (11.2:1) but ranks in the bottom third, while the middle school spends the least ($9,509) with larger classes (14.3:1) yet achieves the strongest results. The elementary school serves a notably higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students (50.72%) compared to the middle (37.58%) and high school (34.22%). This district of extremes—from world-class Algebra I to struggling elementary math—suggests a lack of consistent instructional strategy, creating wildly different outcomes depending on the school, grade level, and subject.
