Summary
Center Point High School is a small, rural high school in Center Point, Texas, serving 163 students in grades 9-12 within the Center Point Independent School District (Isd), where nearly 60% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school stands out for its exceptionally low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.3:1, which is much lower than nearby schools like Tivy High School (14.9:1) and Bandera High School (14.5:1), suggesting students get plenty of individual attention. However, despite this advantage, the school's overall state ranking is in the 34th percentile, and its district is the lowest-performing in the area compared to the higher-rated Kerrville Independent School District (Isd) (71st percentile) and Ingram Independent School District (Isd) (84th percentile).
The most remarkable finding is the school's exceptional performance with its Gifted and Talented students, ranking in the 95th percentile statewide—a top 5% achievement that far outpaces its overall performance. This success, however, does not extend to the broader student body, and the school faces a persistent weakness in mathematics, with Algebra I proficiency rates dropping to 0% in a recent year, well below the state average of 45-54%. Additionally, the school showed a dramatic one-year spike in serving Special Education students, jumping to the 88th percentile in 2024-2025, but this was not sustained, falling back to the 28th percentile the following year, highlighting volatility common in small schools.
On a positive note, Center Point High School boasts a near-perfect graduation rate, achieving 100% in two of the last five years and never dropping below 94.7%, showing it is effective at keeping students on track to earn diplomas. Yet, a recent 2.5% dropout rate in 2023-2024 broke a positive trend and warrants attention. For parents, this school offers a tight-knit environment with strong support for high-achieving students, but families should be aware of the math challenges and consider how the school's resources align with their child's needs, especially when comparing to higher-performing neighbors like Ingram Tom Moore High School, which achieved over 72% proficiency in English I Reading.
