Aspermont Independent School District (Isd)

The Aspermont Independent School District (Isd) is a small, rural district in Texas serving 181 students across two schools: Aspermont High School (grades 6-12) and Aspermont Elementary (Pre-K through 5th grade). The district earns a top-tier 5-star rating and ranks in the 95th percentile among Texas districts, but this high performance is driven almost entirely by its high school.

Aspermont High School is the clear standout, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 81st percentile among Texas high schools. It boasts a perfect 100% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year. The high school consistently outperforms state averages in core subjects, with particularly strong results in mathematics—93.33% of 8th graders were proficient in math compared to 47.24% statewide. The school also shows a dramatic year-over-year improvement in 8th-grade social studies, jumping from 36.36% proficiency to 57.14%. This success is supported by a low student-teacher ratio of 7.8:1 and high per-student spending of $15,458. In contrast, Aspermont Elementary holds a 3-star rating and ranks in the 59th percentile, with more mixed test scores that sometimes fall below state averages. The elementary school also serves a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students (60.47%) compared to the high school (44.21%).

Key takeaways for parents include the district's heavy investment in its students, with small class sizes and above-average spending per pupil. The high school's consistent ranking growth over three consecutive years—from the 71st to the 81st percentile—indicates a positive trajectory. However, the elementary school's more moderate performance suggests that families with younger children may want to closely review grade-level test scores. Overall, the district offers an exceptional high school experience in a small, rural setting, while the elementary school provides a solid foundation with room for improvement.
