The only bright spot in the most recent data is 4th Grade Reading, where 56.36% of students are proficient, slightly above the state average of 53.04%.
Mathematics is a clear and consistent weakness, with both 3rd and 4th grade scores significantly below state averages in 2025-2026. The 4th Grade Math score of 26.79% is nearly 23 percentage points below the state average. With 50.72% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, the school serves a community with moderate economic need. The dramatic year-over-year volatility in test scores is the most critical finding, suggesting potential issues with curriculum changes, student cohort differences, or instructional quality that warrant further investigation. Overall, S And S Cons Elementary shows significant internal inconsistency, with a favorable student-teacher ratio that is not being effectively leveraged to improve student achievement.
