Summary:
The Post Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one elementary school, Post Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools over the past three years, indicating persistent challenges in academic achievement.
Post Elementary's performance on state assessments is generally below the Texas average. In the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in reading ranged from 13.64% (4th grade) to 42.86% (5th grade), compared to state averages of 52.02% (3rd grade), 53.73% (4th grade), and 57.83% (5th grade). In mathematics, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 34% (3rd grade) to 50% (4th grade), while the state averages were 44.88% (3rd grade), 45.79% (4th grade), and 46.24% (5th grade). The school's science proficiency rate for 5th grade in 2024-2025 was 30.95%, compared to the state average of 29.57%.
The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Post Elementary (69.61%) suggests that the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to the academic performance issues. The school's per-student spending for the 2020-2021 school year was $10,653, which is higher than the state average, but it is unclear if these resources are being effectively utilized to address the academic needs of the students.
