About Aspermont EL

Aspermont Elementary serves 94 students in grades PK through 5 as a regular public school in Aspermont, Texas. Its 11.8:1 student-teacher ratio keeps classes small — a structural advantage that shows up clearly in the outcomes. The school earns a composite score of 9.0/10, placing it at #136 of 4,678 elementary schools in Texas and #201 overall among 8,547 public schools statewide.

That puts Aspermont El in the top 2% in the state — rare company for a rural campus of its size. Academic performance comes in at 7.0/10, while growth — how much students improve year over year relative to similar peers — scores 9.8/10. Growth is the category that most directly reflects what a school controls day to day, and a 9.8 is nearly the ceiling.

The "Exceptional" label reflects a campus where every classroom counts. At 94 students total, there is no statistical noise to hide behind — the results are visible and attributable. Families comparing options in Aspermont will find this the top-ranked school in town, and parents evaluating it against broader competition will find it holds up just as well across the state.

For a small West Texas elementary, the numbers are hard to match.

What Parents Should Know

With an enrollment of 94 students, Aspermont EL is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.

Located in a rural area, Aspermont EL may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
