Summary:

Premier H S Of San Juan is a public charter high school in San Juan, Texas, serving 113 students in grades 9-12. The school faces several challenges, including low graduation rates, below-average test scores, and a high-need student population.

Premier H S Of San Juan has struggled with low graduation rates, ranging from 28.3% to 66.7% over the past 5 years, significantly lower than nearby high-performing schools like Psja Southwest Early College High School (95.1%) and Psja Early College High School (97.5%). The school's test scores are generally below the state and district averages, though it has shown some strengths, such as outperforming the district and state in U.S. History proficiency. Premier H S Of San Juan serves a high-need population, with 92.04% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, higher than nearby schools like Psja Collegiate School of Health Professions (81.82%) and Idea College Preparatory Alamo (91.71%).

The data reveals that Premier H S Of San Juan's performance, as measured by its statewide school ranking and SchoolDigger star rating, has declined over the past several years, from a high of 4 stars in 2017-2018 to just 2 stars in 2022-2023. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 17.2, compared to other nearby schools like Psja Collegiate School of Health Professions (4.5) and Psja Thomas Jefferson T-STEM Early College High School (12.6). Addressing these challenges will likely require a concerted effort to improve academic outcomes, increase resources, and support the unique needs of the school's student population.

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.
