Summary

Pilot Point Selz Middle in Pilot Point, TX, serves 378 students in grades 6-8 within the Pilot Point Independent School District (Isd), a small school that offers a favorable 13.9:1 student-teacher ratio—smaller than nearby schools like Sanger Middle (17.1:1) and Terrie McNabb Middle (18.1:1)—which can mean more individualized attention for your child.

The school’s standout strength is its Algebra I program: an impressive 95.45% of students taking the exam were proficient in 2025-2026, far exceeding the state average of 54.03% and outperforming even top schools in Frisco Independent School District (Isd) and Prosper Independent School District (Isd). This suggests a highly effective advanced math track that prepares students well for high school. However, general math scores for grades 6-8 lag behind state averages—for example, only 22.31% of 8th graders were proficient in math versus the state’s 47.24%—creating a clear gap between the school’s advanced and standard math instruction. Reading performance is more balanced, with 8th-grade proficiency at 63.64% compared to the state’s 58.69%.

While the school has a consistent 2-star state rating and ranks in the 48th percentile overall, it operates in a competitive region surrounded by high-performing districts like Celina Independent School District (Isd) (78th percentile). Its per-student spending of $12,049 is mid-range—less than Gunter Middle ($16,204) but more than Terrie McNabb Middle ($8,741)—indicating efficient use of resources, especially in advanced math. The school shows strong recent results for its Gifted and Talented students and Special Education program, but there are areas for growth in supporting all learners equitably. Overall, Pilot Point Selz Middle offers a small-school environment with a standout math acceleration program, though families should be aware of the contrast in general math achievement.
