Summary

Puckett Elementary in Amarillo, TX, is a consistently high-performing PK-5 school within the Amarillo Independent School District (Isd), serving 316 students and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past decade.

Puckett stands out for its exceptional academic results, particularly in 5th-grade Science, where 63.79% of students were proficient in 2024-2025—more than double the district and state averages. This is a significant differentiator from nearby schools like Western Plateau Elementary (30.26%) and Avondale Elementary (23.19%). The school also excels with its Gifted and Talented program, ranking in the 98th percentile statewide. However, performance for Special Education and low socio-economic status students shows notable year-to-year volatility, suggesting support systems for these groups may be inconsistent. While Puckett is a top performer in its district, it faces strong competition from Arden Road Elementary in the Canyon Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 93rd percentile and has a lower poverty rate.

Puckett achieves its strong results with efficient spending ($9,381 per student in 2020-2021), which is lower than many peers like Sleepy Hollow Elementary and Belmar Elementary. Its overall state ranking has seen a slight dip to the 81st percentile in 2025-2026, but it remains a solid choice for families seeking a high-achieving elementary school in the Amarillo area.
