Summary

S F Austin Elementary in Jones Creek, TX, is a small, rural school serving 189 students in grades PK through 6 within the Brazosport Independent School District (Isd), and it has experienced a dramatic performance decline in recent years, dropping from the 62nd percentile statewide in 2020-2021 to the 9th percentile in 2025-2026.

This school’s most recent test scores are critically low, especially in the lower grades. For example, in 2025-2026, only 25% of 3rd graders were proficient in Reading and just 10% in Math, while 4th graders scored only 14.29% proficiency in both subjects. These figures are roughly half or less of the district and state averages. In contrast, nearby Gladys Polk Elementary saw 68.33% of its 3rd graders proficient in Math the same year. The school’s ability to support specific student groups has also collapsed, with female, Hispanic, and low socio-economic status students ranking in the bottom 3% statewide in 2025-2026—a stark reversal from the previous year when these same groups performed at or above the 50th percentile. This suggests a systemic issue rather than a problem isolated to one demographic.

Despite these challenges, there is a consistent bright spot: 5th grade Reading scores have remained strong, with 60.87% of students proficient in 2025-2026, outperforming both the district (52.85%) and state (58.47%). This pattern has held for several years, pointing to an effective teacher or program at that grade level. Interestingly, the school spends $12,054 per student, which is higher than many higher-performing peers in the same district, such as Bess Brannen Elementary ($9,678 per student, ranking in the top 12% of the state). This indicates that funding is not the primary issue. Compared to O'Hara Lanier Elementary, a nearby school with a similar high-poverty population (76% free/reduced lunch), S F Austin’s recent collapse has made it perform worse than this already struggling peer, particularly in 3rd and 4th grade Math and Reading.
