Summary:
Premont Independent School District (Isd) is served by a single high school, Premont Collegiate High School, which serves grades 6 through 12 with a total enrollment of 387 students in a community where nearly 91% of students face economic disadvantage.
Premont Collegiate High School is a school of stark contrasts. On one hand, it achieved a standout performance in U.S. History, surpassing the state average with a 71.67% proficiency rate in 2024-2025. On the other hand, it reported a shocking 0% proficiency rate in English I Reading that same year, a critical red flag that demands immediate investigation. The school’s state ranking has been volatile, bouncing from the 33rd percentile down to the 15th, and then recovering slightly to the 22nd percentile, consistently placing it in the bottom third of Texas high schools. While the graduation rate is a solid 93.9%, academic proficiency in core subjects like math and reading remains well below state averages, with 7th-grade math plummeting from 46.43% to just 16.67% proficiency in one year.
Despite spending a significant $17,784 per student and maintaining a low student-teacher ratio of 12.9:1, the school struggles to produce consistent results. This suggests the challenge is not a lack of resources, but how effectively those resources are used to improve instruction. The school shows flashes of excellence, like in U.S. History, but cannot replicate that success across all subjects and grade levels. For parents, this means Premont Collegiate High School has the potential to succeed, but its dramatic year-over-year swings and critical weaknesses in English and math make it a school that requires close monitoring and a clear plan for improvement.
