Summary:
The 76264 zip code is home to two schools, S And S Cons Middle and S And S Cons High School, both part of the S And S Consolidated Independent School District. These schools demonstrate a mix of strengths, with the middle school excelling in 8th grade STAAR exams and the high school boasting a high graduation rate and strong performance on several End-of-Course exams.
S And S Cons Middle School stands out for its relatively high percentage of white students (75.64%) and exceptional performance on the 8th grade STAAR exams, with 59.7% proficient or better in Reading and 68.66% in Science, exceeding state averages. The school also achieved a 100% proficiency rate on the Algebra I End-of-Course exam, significantly higher than the district and state averages. In contrast, S And S Cons High School impresses with its 92.1% 4-year graduation rate, outperforming the state average, as well as strong performance on the Biology (75.34% proficient or better) and English I/II Reading (62.79% and 65.52% proficient or better) End-of-Course exams.
While the schools share similarities in their student demographics, with both having a majority white student population, they differ in their resource allocation, with the high school spending significantly more per student ($13,950) compared to the middle school ($9,509). This disparity in funding may contribute to the observed differences in academic performance and student-teacher ratios, with the middle school having a higher ratio of 15:1 compared to the high school's 9.7:1. Further analysis could explore the underlying factors behind these resource and performance differences, as well as investigate any potential equity concerns related to the schools' demographic compositions.
