Public, Charter Grades 9-12

of 2,009 Texas High Schools

Better than 20% of Texas high schools

Summary

Premier H S Of Mission is a small public charter high school in Mission, TX, serving 178 students in grades 9-12, where nearly all students are economically disadvantaged. The school is part of the Premier High Schools district and has historically ranked in the bottom 20-40% of Texas high schools, earning a 1-star rating in recent years.

The most striking finding is the school's graduation rate, which averages just 44.2% over the last five years. This is dramatically lower than every nearby school, such as Achieve Early College High School (100%), Sharyland High School (98.4%), and Mission High School (94.3%). Paradoxically, the school reports a 0.0% dropout rate for the last four years, suggesting many students may transfer out rather than graduate. The student-to-teacher ratio is extremely high at 28:1, more than double that of Rowe High School (12.6:1) and Veterans Memorial High School (12.2:1). Per-student spending is also below average at about $10,000-$10,700, compared to $11,000-$12,400 at nearby schools.

Despite these challenges, there are bright spots. The school shows a remarkable strength in U.S. History, with 75% of students proficient in 2025-2026, exceeding both the district average (41.36%) and the state average (70.17%). It also performs relatively well for English Language Learners, ranking in the 81st percentile statewide in 2022-2023. Nearby charter schools like Idea College Preparatory Mission and Idea McAllen College Preparatory serve similar demographics but achieve much higher graduation rates (99-100%), showing that the challenges Premier faces are not insurmountable. The school shares its campus with Texasworks - Mission, a tiny school with only 15 students, suggesting it may be part of a larger educational complex offering alternative pathways.
