Premier H S Of Mission stands out for its significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (94.89%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 93.73% to 99.41% Hispanic students.

The school's STAAR EOC proficiency rates are also generally lower than the state and Premier High Schools district averages across all subject areas, such as a 36.36% Algebra I proficiency rate in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 44.73% and the Premier High Schools district average of 12.66%. Despite these challenges, Premier H S Of Mission has a 0% dropout rate, which is better than the nearby public high schools, which have dropout rates ranging from 0.1% to 1.4%.

While Premier H S Of Mission faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, the school's performance with English Language Learner (ELL) and at-risk students suggests that it may be able to improve with additional resources and support. The school spends between $9,993 and $10,735 per student, which is lower than the nearby public high schools, which spend between $11,220 and $12,413 per student, indicating that it may be underfunded. Overall, parents should carefully consider the academic performance and resources available at Achieve Early College High School, Instr/Guid Center, Rowe High School, and other nearby schools when making decisions about their child's education.

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.
