Pilot Point Selz Middle

Summary:

Pilot Point Selz Middle is a public middle school serving around 330 students in grades 6-8 in Pilot Point, Texas, which is part of the Pilot Point Independent School District. The school has consistently been rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, ranking in the middle to lower range among Texas middle schools.

Pilot Point Selz Middle faces significant challenges in improving its overall academic performance, particularly in math and for its Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student populations. The school's STAAR test scores are generally below the state averages across all subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates ranging from 10-30% in math, significantly lower than the state. However, the school does better in reading, with 6th and 7th grade reading proficiency rates around 60%, closer to the state averages. The school's Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student groups perform very poorly, ranking in the bottom 20% of Texas middle schools in these categories, while its multi-racial and special education student groups perform better, ranking in the top 30-40%.

Pilot Point Selz Middle's strong performance on the Algebra I end-of-course exam, with 75% proficiency in 2023-2024, well above the district and state averages, is a positive outlier and indicates the school may be doing something right in its math instruction, at least for high-achieving students. However, the school generally underperforms compared to the nearby middle schools, such as those in the Sanger, Prosper, and Celina districts, which provide a useful benchmark for Pilot Point Selz Middle to strive towards.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
