Summary:
Zip code 76268 (Southmayd, TX) is home to a single school, S And S Cons Elementary, which serves grades PK-4 as part of the S And S Consolidated Independent School District.
As the only school in the area, S And S Cons Elementary presents a mixed and volatile academic picture. The school has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.6:1 and a moderate level of economic disadvantage, with about 51% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. However, its state performance ranking has fluctuated dramatically, dropping from a 3-star rating (64th percentile) in 2024-2025 to a 1-star rating (28th percentile) in 2025-2026. The most critical weakness is in 4th Grade Mathematics, where only 26.79% of students were proficient in the most recent year—nearly 23 percentage points below the state average. This represents a sharp decline from the previous year and signals a significant academic challenge. In contrast, 4th Grade Reading slightly exceeded the state average at 56.36% proficient, while 3rd Grade Reading (30.16%) and 3rd Grade Math (37.5%) both fell well below state benchmarks.
A key takeaway is the stark inconsistency between grade levels and subjects. While 4th graders outperformed 3rd graders in reading, the opposite was true in math, suggesting uneven instructional quality or student preparedness. Because this is the district's only elementary school, its test scores directly reflect the district's overall low 1-star rating. Despite adequate staffing ratios, the school's volatile performance indicates that current instructional strategies may not be effectively addressing student needs, particularly in 4th grade math, which warrants immediate attention from school leadership.
