Summary

Pieper High School in San Antonio, TX, is a large, high-performing public school serving 2,093 students in grades 9-12 as part of the highly-ranked Comal Independent School District (Isd), consistently ranking among the top 12-17% of all Texas high schools with a very low dropout rate of 0.1%.

Pieper stands out for its exceptional performance in English Language Arts, with over 82% of students proficient in English I and nearly 79% in English II, outperforming nearby schools like Johnson High School and Reagan High School in English I. While Algebra I scores (62.31%) are lower than other subjects—a common statewide trend—Pieper still outperforms many comparable peers, including Smithson Valley High School and Veterans Memorial High School. The school also excels in serving its African American students, who consistently rank in the top 10% statewide, reflecting strong and equitable instructional practices.

Pieper serves a relatively affluent community, with only 14.33% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch—much lower than nearby schools like Madison High School (50.84%) and Davenport High School (29.36%). This economic advantage contributes to high overall test scores, though the school has room to grow in supporting its economically disadvantaged students relative to its own high standards. Overall, Pieper offers a stable, high-quality education with a strong literacy foundation, making it a reliable choice for families in the area.
