Semifinalists, its highest number of students to earn the honor in the District's history, dating back to 1958. To be recognized for National Merit Honors, students must take the PSAT, and only 16,000 students out of a pool of more than 1.6 million entrants (1%) are recognized as National Merit Semifinalists. The 2017 TEA Accountability Report for HPISD said that every single campus, and thus the District as a whole, had "Met Standard." The four indexes calculated by the TEA put HPISD ahead of the state targets: 97 on Student Achievement (target of 60), 50 on Student Progress (target of 22), 68 on Closing Performance Gaps (target of 28), and 94 on Post-secondary Readiness (target of 60). HPISD earned a distinction in post-secondary readiness, making it one of just 58 districts in the state to do so.
