Summary

Pilot Point High School is a small, rural school in Pilot Point, TX, serving 482 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Pilot Point Independent School District (Isd), with a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 12.9:1 and about 39.6% of students receiving free or reduced lunch.

While the school boasts an exceptional and stable graduation rate—consistently above 96.4% for the last five years, including a perfect 100% in 2019-2020, which rivals top-performing neighbors like Prosper High School (99.0%) and Gunter High School (98.7%)—its academic performance has seen a clear downward trend. The school’s statewide ranking has dropped from the 77th percentile (4-star rating) in 2016-2017 to the 38th percentile (2-star rating) currently, a decline not seen in nearby schools like Celina High School or Sanger High School, which have maintained stable rankings. A key concern is Algebra I proficiency, which fell to just 12.95% in 2025-2026, far below the state average of 54.03% and the lowest among nearby schools, including Valley View High School (44.16%). However, the school consistently outperforms the state in U.S. History, with 77.05% of students proficient compared to the state average of 67.94%.

Pilot Point High School is at a critical juncture, with a strong foundation in its high graduation rate and low student-to-teacher ratio, but facing challenges in academic rigor. The school has seen declining outcomes for its economically disadvantaged students, who make up nearly 40% of the student body, as well as for Hispanic students and English Language Learners. When compared to similar-sized schools, Gunter High School (368 students) outperforms in English I and Biology, while Valley View High School (257 students) shows an upward trend in its ranking. The school’s ability to reverse its academic decline, particularly in core subjects like Algebra I, will be crucial for its future.

What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, March 22, 2017

They worked very hard to make us feel unwelcome and suggested home schooling even though both parents work full time. The admin staff I met with was extremely unprofessional and not knowledgeable about current Texas Education Code or even teens and families. Both parents and the student put in full effort to work with the school and admin so I am learning now that this is the norm for new people. It was bizarre-like a very bad education film about a school that got left behind.... Close Quote
