Best Public Schools in Pipe Creek, TX

Summary:

The city of Pipe Creek, Texas has only one school, Hill Country Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the Bandera Independent School District (ISD). The district is ranked 587 out of 961 school districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hill Country Elementary has a low statewide ranking, placing 3,323 out of 4,651 Texas elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year and 3,950 out of 4,675 in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's performance on STAAR tests is generally below the district and state averages in reading, mathematics, and science. Additionally, 61.4% of students at Hill Country Elementary were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.3 and higher per-student spending of $10,191 in the 2020-2021 school year, these resources have not translated into stronger academic outcomes. The combination of low academic performance and high economic disadvantage suggests that Hill Country Elementary may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of its student population and improve educational outcomes.
