Its exceptional test scores include 8th-grade Math proficiency at 93.33% compared to the state's 47.24%, and it outperformed the state average in 100% of tested subjects. In contrast, Aspermont Elementary is a solid, average-performing school ranked in the 59th percentile (3 stars), with test scores generally close to or slightly above state averages, such as 3rd-grade Math at 57.14% versus the state's 44.88%.
Key metrics highlight the "small school" advantage, with a student-teacher ratio of 7.8:1 at the high school and 11.1:1 at the elementary school, allowing for highly individualized attention. The high school spends $15,458 per student, notably higher than the elementary's $12,328, which may fund specialized programs driving its exceptional results. While the elementary school serves a population with a higher rate of economic disadvantage (60.47% free/reduced lunch) compared to the high school (44.21%), the district's overall performance—especially the high school's 100% graduation rate and top-tier state rankings—demonstrates a compelling model for rural education success.
