Summary

Pine Tree High School in Longview, TX, serves 1,257 students in grades 9-12 and is part of the Pine Tree Independent School District (Isd), a district rated in the top 25% of Texas. While the school boasts an exceptionally high graduation rate (consistently above 97%) and a very low dropout rate, its academic performance on state tests has been stable but below average, ranking in the 40th to 47th percentile statewide for the last seven years. This creates a notable paradox: the school excels at keeping students on track to graduate, but test scores suggest many may not be fully prepared for college or careers, especially in math and history.

Pine Tree's academic strengths and weaknesses are clear. The school outperforms the state average in English I and II reading, but significantly lags in Algebra I (36.57% proficient vs. 54.03% statewide) and U.S. History (58.42% vs. 70.17%). This pattern has persisted for years, pointing to systemic challenges in math and social studies. In contrast, nearby schools like Spring Hill High School and White Oak High School (both 4-star schools) dramatically outperform Pine Tree in nearly every subject. Even Longview High School, which serves a larger and more economically disadvantaged student body, achieves higher proficiency in every tested subject, including Algebra I (60.06% vs. 36.57%).

There are some bright spots and areas of concern. Pine Tree has shown exceptional recent success with English Language Learners, ranking in the 78th percentile in 2025-2026, a dramatic improvement from two years prior. However, the school's performance with Special Education students has been volatile, dropping from the 65th percentile to the 9th percentile in the same period, which is a significant red flag. Similarly, Gifted & Talented programs have seen inconsistent results. For families seeking alternatives, the nearby charter school Dan Chadwick Campus outperforms Pine Tree in most subjects, suggesting smaller, specialized models may offer higher proficiency rates in the area.
