Summary:
The Pilot Point Independent School District (Isd) is home to a single middle school, Pilot Point Selz Middle, which serves grades 6 through 8 with a total enrollment of 378 students. This school has shown a steady, modest improvement in its state ranking over the past three years, moving from the 43rd percentile in 2023-2024 to the 48th percentile in both 2024-2025 and 2025-2026, indicating a positive trajectory relative to other middle schools across Texas.
The most striking feature of Pilot Point Selz Middle is its exceptional performance in advanced mathematics. In the 2025-2026 school year, 95.45% of 8th-grade students taking Algebra I were proficient, a rate dramatically higher than the state average of 54.03%. This suggests a highly effective, targeted program for advanced math students. However, this strength contrasts sharply with the school's general mathematics scores, where proficiency rates for 6th, 7th, and 8th graders all fall below state averages, with 8th-grade math proficiency at just 22.31% compared to the state's 47.24%. In reading, the school shows a clear strength, with 8th-grade proficiency (63.64%) surpassing the state average (58.69%).
With a student-teacher ratio of 13.9 and spending of $12,049 per student, the school has a solid resource base. The dropout rate of 0.8% is lower than the district average of 1.1%. The data reveals a clear area for growth: while the school excels in advanced math and reading, improving general mathematics achievement across all grade levels is the most direct path to further elevating its overall state ranking. The school's performance in Algebra I is a standout success, but it also highlights a significant gap in math achievement for the general student population.
