Summary

Premont Collegiate High School in Premont, TX, serves 387 students in grades 6 through 12 and is the sole high school in the Premont Independent School District (Isd), a rural district where over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The school’s most striking feature is its high graduation rate of 93.9% (2023-2024), which outpaces nearby H M King High School (82.0%) and Falfurrias High School (85.9%), and nearly matches top-performing Santa Gertrudis Academy High School (98.9%). However, this success contrasts sharply with very low academic proficiency on state tests—only 24.19% of students were proficient in Algebra I in 2025-2026, compared to 54.03% statewide. The school also spends significantly more per student ($17,784) than neighboring districts like Kingsville Independent School District (Isd) ($12,026) and Santa Gertrudis Independent School District (Isd) ($11,188), yet academic outcomes remain low. Notably, the school excels with Special Education students (top 40-50% statewide) and Gifted and Talented students (top 5% in 2024-2025), but struggles significantly with English Language Learners, who rank in the bottom 1% of the state.

Interesting patterns include a standout performance in U.S. History, where 71.67% of students were proficient in 2024-2025—above the state average of 67.94%—and extreme volatility in English I and II scores, which fluctuated wildly from 0% to 51.61% proficiency in recent years. Compared to Santa Gertrudis Academy High School, just 19 miles away, Premont lags in every academic metric, highlighting the challenge of high poverty rates. Despite its "collegiate" name, the school appears focused on graduation rather than college readiness, though its success with specific subgroups shows potential for broader improvement.
