Summary:
The city of Southmayd, Texas has only one school, S And S Cons Elementary, which serves grades PK-4 and is part of the S And S Consolidated Independent School District. With a total enrollment of 331 students, the school has a predominantly White student population, with smaller percentages of Hispanic, two or more races, African American, and Asian students.
Academically, S And S Cons Elementary has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, dropping from a 3-star rating in 2021-2022 to a 1-star rating in 2022-2023, before improving to a 2-star rating for the current school year. While the school's 3rd grade reading scores are slightly above the state average, its 4th grade reading and 3rd and 4th grade math scores are all below state averages, with the 4th grade math scores being significantly lower. Additionally, nearly half of the school's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a need to address the needs of its economically disadvantaged population.
Despite these challenges, the school maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.5 to 1. However, the lack of diversity in the student population and the declining performance on standardized tests suggest areas for improvement, such as strengthening math instruction, providing additional resources and support for economically disadvantaged students, and promoting greater diversity and inclusion within the school community.
