Summary:
The Kermit Independent School District (Isd) in Texas contains one elementary school, Kermit Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school has consistently performed below average compared to other Texas elementary schools, ranking in the bottom quartile for the past three school years.
Kermit Elementary struggles with low test scores, with proficiency rates in reading, math, and STAAR Spanish assessments significantly below the state averages across all grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency rate was 36.62%, compared to the state average of 52.02%. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 77.72% in 2023-2024, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
While Kermit Elementary spends more per student than the state average, at $13,612 per student in 2020-2021, the school's student-teacher ratio of 21.8 in 2023-2024 is slightly higher than the recommended ratio of 18:1 for elementary schools. These factors, combined with the school's consistently low performance, suggest that the Kermit Independent School District may need to prioritize Kermit Elementary and implement targeted strategies to support its improvement and help students achieve better academic outcomes.
