Data showed that Pilot Point ISD schools welcomed 1,432 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, African American students comprised 2.2% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the district.

Pilot Point ISD roughly covers schools within Denton County and has a main office in Pilot Point.

Among the four schools in Pilot Point ISD schools, Pilot Point Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of African American students in the 2021-22 school year, with a total of 12 students.

The Texas education system is currently torn between public schools and taxpayer-funded private schools.

Critics argue that private schools use funds that should go to the public school system, while private school advocates claim they’re offering better education for more Texas students.
