Summary:
The city of Bishop, Texas, is served by the Bishop Consolidated Independent School District, which includes four schools—Bishop High School, Lillion E Luehrs J H, Bishop Elementary, and Bishop Pri—serving students from Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade, with the district ranking in the 91st percentile statewide and earning a 5-star rating.
Among the standout schools, Bishop High School is a consistent performer with a 98% graduation rate and a 0.4% dropout rate, maintaining a 4-star rating for three consecutive years. Lillion E Luehrs J H is a math powerhouse, with 100% of its 8th graders proficient in Algebra I in 2024-2025, far exceeding the state average. Bishop Elementary shows a bright spot in 4th-grade math, where 84.81% of students were proficient in 2025-2026, nearly double the state average, though 3rd-grade reading and 5th-grade math lag behind. Bishop Pri serves the highest percentage of economically disadvantaged students at 70.54%, compared to 54% at the high school, and has the highest student-teacher ratio at 17.4:1, while the middle school has the most favorable ratio at 12.4:1.
Key metrics include a district dropout rate of just 0.3% and per-student spending ranging from $10,135 at the middle school to $11,717 at the high school. An interesting finding is the inverse relationship between grade level and economic need, with younger students facing higher disadvantage rates. The middle school's exceptional Algebra I pipeline creates a significant advantage for incoming high school students, while the elementary school's 4th-grade math success suggests a specific effective intervention that could be replicated. However, the elementary school's state ranking has declined from the 79th to the 69th percentile over three years, warranting attention to ensure consistent improvement across all grades.
