PONDER HIGH SCHOOL

PONDER H S is a public high school that is part of the PONDER ISD school district, located in PONDER, TX with about 418 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 30 teachers, PONDER H S has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.
