Summary:
The city of Jones Creek, Texas has a single elementary school, S F Austin Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 and is part of the Brazosport Independent School District (ISD). While the school has a diverse student population, its academic performance lags behind both the district and state averages, particularly in 6th grade math and 5th grade science.
S F Austin Elementary's STAAR test scores are consistently lower than the Brazosport ISD and Texas state averages across various grade levels and subjects. For example, in 3rd grade reading, the school scored 40% proficient or better, compared to 58.89% for Brazosport ISD and 48.85% for Texas. The school's performance is particularly low in 6th grade math, with only 21.88% proficient or better, compared to 35.06% for Brazosport ISD and 37.1% for Texas. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has dropped from 1912 out of 4581 Texas elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 2738 out of 4675 in 2023-2024, indicating a concerning trend of declining performance.
The high percentage of students (73.96%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch at S F Austin Elementary suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income student population. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's academic challenges, as research has shown a correlation between poverty and educational outcomes. Overall, the analysis of the single school in Jones Creek reveals that S F Austin Elementary is underperforming compared to its district and state peers, and the school's declining performance and socioeconomic factors may be areas of concern for parents and the community.
