Summary:
The Premont Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to two elementary schools: Premont Ernest H Singleton Early College Academy and Premont Montessori Academy. These schools serve a student population facing significant economic challenges, with over 90% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
The larger of the two schools, Premont Ernest H Singleton Early College Academy, has a student enrollment of 388 and struggles with academic performance. Its STAAR test scores are well below state averages, with only 20.41% of 3rd graders proficient or better in reading, compared to the state average of 52.02%. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the past three years, dropping from 3,081 out of 4,647 Texas elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 4,365 out of 4,651 in 2024-2025. In contrast, the smaller Premont Montessori Academy serves 35 students, with an even higher percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients at 94.29%.
Both schools face resource allocation concerns, with relatively high student-teacher ratios of 18.5 and 17.5, respectively, and spending per student at Premont Ernest H Singleton Early College Academy of $11,670 for the 2020-2021 school year. These factors, combined with the significant economic challenges faced by the student populations, suggest that the Premont ISD schools require targeted interventions and additional support to improve educational outcomes and address the unique needs of their communities.
