South Elementary faces significant challenges, with its academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, falling well below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 29.85% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to the state average of 48.85%. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students performing better than the overall school, but White students and students with special needs performing significantly worse, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Texas elementary schools. South Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of Texas elementary schools, with a ranking of 4,221 out of 4,675 schools in the 2023-2024 school year, and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
When compared to nearby schools, such as Frances Corprew Elementary in the Mount Pleasant Independent School District, South Elementary's performance is consistently lower across all metrics, including test scores, school rankings, and student demographics. However, the data suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement, as the school's performance for African American and Hispanic students, as well as its high ranking for English Language Learners in 2020-2021, indicate that the school has the potential to improve if the right strategies and resources are put in place.
