Summary:
In zip code 76258, there is one middle school, Pilot Point Selz Middle, serving grades 6 through 8 with 378 students in the Pilot Point Independent School District (Isd), which holds a 2 out of 5 star state ranking.
The most notable finding is a stark contrast in math performance. A small group of 8th graders taking Algebra I achieve exceptional proficiency, with 95.45% passing in the latest year, far exceeding the state average of 54.03%. However, the majority of 8th graders in standard 8th Grade Math struggle significantly, with only 22.31% proficient compared to the state average of 47.24%. This suggests the school excels at serving advanced students but faces challenges with the general student population in math. Reading scores are mixed: 7th and 8th graders outperform state averages, while 6th graders lag behind. The school also underperforms in 8th Grade Science and Social Studies compared to state benchmarks.
Despite these mixed results, the school has shown a positive trajectory, improving its overall state ranking from the 43rd percentile to the 48th percentile over three consecutive years. With a low student-teacher ratio of 13.9 and spending of $12,049 per student, the school has relatively strong resources. The key question for parents is how these resources are being allocated, as they are not consistently translating into above-average performance in core subjects like 6th Grade Reading and 8th Grade Math. The dropout rate is low at 0.8%, and nearly half of the students (47.88%) are economically disadvantaged.
