Summary:
Post, Texas is home to a single elementary school, Post Elementary, which serves students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade within the Post Independent School District (Isd), and serves a student body where 79.1% of students are economically disadvantaged.
Post Elementary has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.4:1, suggesting smaller class sizes, but its overall state ranking has declined, dropping from the 29th percentile in 2024-2025 to the 19th percentile in 2025-2026. The school shows mixed academic performance, with a notable bright spot in the 2024-2025 school year when 4th graders exceeded the state average in Mathematics (50.00% vs. 45.79%) and 5th graders slightly outperformed the state in Science (30.95% vs. 29.57%). However, the school struggles with persistent reading gaps, particularly in 4th grade where only 13.64% of students were proficient in Reading in 2024-2025, a 40-point gap below the state average, though this improved to 39.58% the following year.
Year-over-year performance is inconsistent, with 5th Grade Math proficiency dropping dramatically from 40.48% to 25.58% between the two school years, while 4th Grade Reading saw a significant improvement from 13.64% to 39.58%. The school's per-student spending of $10,653 provides a baseline for understanding the resources available to address the needs of its high-poverty student population. Overall, Post Elementary demonstrates potential in specific subjects and grades but faces challenges in building consistent, high-quality instruction across all areas, particularly in reading proficiency.
