Summary:
The city of Premont, Texas is home to 3 schools serving grades K-12, including 2 elementary schools and 1 high school. Overall, the schools in Premont face significant challenges, with predominantly Hispanic student populations, low academic performance, high poverty levels, and potential funding disparities.
The standout school in Premont is Premont Collegiate High School, which has an impressive 100% four-year graduation rate and low 0.3% dropout rate. However, its test scores are generally below the state averages. In contrast, Premont Montessori Academy, the smallest school with only 17 students, has the highest percentage of Hispanic students (100%) and the highest free/reduced lunch rate (82.35%) among the three schools.
Across the district, the schools struggle academically, with proficiency rates on STAAR assessments ranging from 12% to 53%, well below state averages. This low performance may be linked to the high poverty levels, as all three schools have free/reduced lunch rates above 82%. Additionally, there appears to be a funding disparity, with Premont Collegiate High School spending $17,784 per student compared to $11,670 per student at Premont Ernest H Singleton Early College Academy. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive approach by the Premont Independent School District (Isd) and community stakeholders.
