Summary:

Premier High School-Austin South Campus is a public charter high school serving grades 7-12 in Austin, Texas, with a relatively small student population of 167 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school has struggled academically, ranking in the bottom half of Texas high schools and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Premier High School-Austin South Campus faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school has consistently low four-year graduation rates, ranging from 35.5% to 48.8% over the past five years, which is significantly lower than the state average and the graduation rates of nearby schools like Harmony School of Excellence - Austin (93.2%) and Wayside Sci-Technical Middle and High School (93.5%). The school's performance on STAAR assessments is also well below state and district averages across all subject areas and grade levels, with only 16.67% of 8th-grade students proficient or better in Math and Science, compared to the state averages of 40.23% and 41.56%, respectively.

While Premier High School-Austin South Campus performs poorly for most student subgroups, it stands out as an outlier for its White students, who ranked in the top 6% of Texas high schools in 2020-2021, a stark contrast to the school's overall low performance. The school's spending per student, ranging from $8,705 to $10,012 over the past three years, is also lower than the state average and many of the nearby schools, such as KIPP Austin Brave. The performance of Premier High School-Austin South Campus is notably weaker than that of nearby charter schools, highlighting the need for substantial improvements in academic performance and student support.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
