Summary:
In zip code 76264 (Sadler, Texas), there is one high school, S And S Cons High School, serving grades 9 through 12 with a total enrollment of 301 students as part of the S And S Consolidated Independent School District.
S And S Cons High School presents a mixed picture for parents. On the positive side, the school boasts an exceptionally high graduation rate of 98.6% and a very low dropout rate of 0.6% for the 2023-2024 school year. The student-teacher ratio is a favorable 11.2:1, suggesting smaller class sizes and more individualized attention compared to the state average. However, the school's academic performance on state tests is a significant concern. Proficiency rates are well below state averages in most subjects, with Algebra I at just 15.49% (compared to 54.03% statewide) and U.S. History at 48.65% (versus 70.17% statewide). The only subject where the school nears the state average is Biology, at 69.88% versus 70.51%. This disconnect between high graduation rates and low test scores is a key paradox for parents to consider.
Another critical finding is the school's sharp decline in state ranking, dropping from the 54th percentile (3 stars) in the 2023-2024 school year to the 28th percentile (1 star) in the 2025-2026 school year. This rapid two-year decline is a major red flag. The school spends $13,950 per student, which, combined with the low student-teacher ratio, indicates significant resource investment that is not translating into higher test scores. Parents should investigate recent changes in curriculum, teaching staff, or instructional strategies that may explain this trend. The year-to-year volatility in test scores, such as English I Reading dropping from 50% to 44.66% and English II Reading improving from 47.56% to 51.25%, also suggests that performance can vary significantly with each cohort of students in this small school.
