Summary

Kermit Elementary in Kermit, TX, serves 631 students in grades PK through 5 within the Kermit Independent School District (Isd), a small-town school where about three-quarters of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Kermit Elementary is currently facing a serious academic crisis, with its statewide ranking dropping to the bottom 3% of all Texas elementary schools in the most recent year. This marks a steep decline from a high point just a few years ago. Test scores are well below state averages across the board—for example, only about 29% of 3rd graders passed math, compared to 44% statewide, and no 5th graders passed the science STAAR test. The school is struggling to support all its students, with subgroups like special education and White students ranking in the very lowest percentiles. However, there is one bright spot: students taking the STAAR Spanish test often outperform the state average for Spanish-language test-takers, suggesting the bilingual program may be a relative strength to build on.

The contrast with nearby Wink Elementary, just 8.5 miles away in the Wink-Loving Independent School District (Isd), is striking. Wink Elementary ranks in the 72nd percentile statewide, with much higher test scores—60% of 3rd graders passed math, for instance. Key differences include class size and funding: Kermit has a student-teacher ratio of 21:1 and spends about $13,600 per student, while Wink has a ratio of 11.5:1 and spends over $21,000 per student. This resource gap highlights the challenges Kermit Elementary faces and points to the need for a comprehensive strategy focused on smaller classes, better instructional support, and targeted help for struggling students.

What people are saying
by a parent

Open Quote The Principal is completely irresponsible. Instead of focusing on making this a better school, creating literacy development, increasing test scores, etc, she is absorbed by a little kid talking about the Hobbit movie. What kind of lunacy is being demonstrated by the School Board and the District for not firing her for failure to perform her duties? Close Quote

Open Quote They suspend students for having "magic rings". Yes, just ask principal Roxanne Greer, who called a 9-year-old a terrorist for claiming to have a magic ring.

They also suspended him for acknowledging the existence of pregnancy.

If it's academics you're after, well you should know that they get a 2 out of a possible 10 points based on their test scores. So I guess they're doing a solid job keeping their students as stupid as their principal.

Kermit Elementary: keeping Texas stupid one student at a time! Close Quote

Open Quote This is really stupid about how they suspend a kid over something so small. Psh. "Threats"? I would be expelled for all the LOTR references I made in my time. Close Quote

Open Quote Your school district is the laughing stock of the nation. Calling a 9 year old boy a threat and punishing him for saying he can make someone disappear with a magic ring is ridiculous.

Fire that principal for demostrated idiocy, and poor judgement Close Quote
