Best Public Schools in Pipe Creek, TX

Summary:

The city of Pipe Creek, Texas is home to a single elementary school, Hill Country Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and is part of the Bandera Independent School District (ISD). While Hill Country Elementary has a predominantly White student population, it faces academic and socioeconomic challenges, with below-average performance on state assessments and a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Hill Country Elementary's 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students are performing below the Bandera ISD and Texas state averages in reading, math, and science proficiency on the STAAR assessments. The school's ranking has also been declining, from 2552 out of 4581 Texas elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 3950 out of 4675 in the current 2023-2024 school year, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's socioeconomic challenges are evident, with 62.32% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population. While the school's per-student spending is $10,191 and the student-teacher ratio is 14.3 to 1, these factors have not translated into improved academic outcomes. Overall, Hill Country Elementary faces significant hurdles in meeting the educational needs of its students and aligning with district and state performance standards.
