Premier High School of Lubbock

What Premier High School of Lubbock does

Premier High School of Lubbock is a tuition-free, accredited public charter high school operating two Lubbock, Texas campuses (Briercroft at 5302 Avenue Q, Suite 14 and Wayland at 801 N Quaker Ave), serving students in grades 9-12. It is a local campus of the Premier High School network, which is itself operated by Responsive Education Solutions, Inc. (ResponsiveEd), a Texas-based nonprofit corporation headquartered in Lewisville, TX. The school serves non-traditional learners — students behind on credits, those seeking flexible pacing, career-focused students, and early-graduation candidates — through a mastery-based, student-paced curriculum delivered via Individual Education Plans, in-person instruction, and a 24/7 Virtual Premier Online Learning platform.

The core academic portfolio includes Credit Recovery, Graduate Early, Dual Credit (enabling associate's degree pathways), a GED-alternative diploma track, and a Career & Technical Education (CTE) program spanning 22+ certification pathways (automotive technology, certified medical assistant, construction, cosmetology, criminal justice, culinary arts, dental assistant, diesel & truck technology, drone pilot, electrician, emergency services, entrepreneurship, graphic design, hospitality, HVAC, industrial maintenance, IT, law enforcement, medical billing/coding, patient care technician, pharmacy technician, phlebotomy, and welding). The platform combines synchronous classroom support with asynchronous online curriculum access, allowing students to take mastery exams on their own timeline.

Premier High School generates no tuition revenue from students or families; instead, it is funded through state per-pupil charter school allocations from Texas (and Arkansas for sister campuses). The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer open enrollment via the network website, campus tours, school choice outreach, and community marketing managed centrally by ResponsiveEd. The network serves approximately 24,497 currently enrolled students across 60+ campuses in Texas and Arkansas and has produced 24,435 graduates since its founding in 1999.
