Bullard Independent School District (Isd)

The Bullard Independent School District (Isd) is a high-performing, 5-star rated district in Texas, serving approximately 2,921 students across six schools: three elementary campuses (Bullard Early Childhood, Bullard Pri, Bullard Elementary), two middle schools (Bullard Intermediate, Bullard Middle), and one high school (Bullard High School). The district ranks in the 91st percentile statewide, with a low average free/reduced lunch rate of 27.7% and a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 13.7:1.

Bullard High School stands out as the district's academic powerhouse, boasting a near-perfect 99.5% graduation rate and a 0.1% dropout rate, along with the lowest student-to-teacher ratio (12.2:1) and the highest spending per student ($11,481). Its End-of-Course exam scores significantly exceed state averages, particularly in English I Reading (77.99% vs. 55.43%). Bullard Middle excels in advanced math, with 100% of its 8th-grade Algebra I students proficient, dramatically outperforming the district (62.41%) and state (47.01%) averages. Bullard Elementary provides the strongest core foundation, with 4th-grade proficiency rates of 73.42% in Reading and 75.34% in Mathematics—the highest in the district for those subjects.

Key takeaways include a powerful "Algebra I Pipeline" from Bullard Middle to Bullard High School, though a "Middle School Math Slump" appears in standard 8th-grade math (46.5% proficiency, below the state average). Social Studies is a district-wide challenge, with Bullard Middle's 8th-grade proficiency at 27.68% (below the state's 31.69%). The Bullard Early Childhood campus, serving the highest percentage of economically disadvantaged students (39.76%), receives the second-highest spending per student ($10,298), suggesting strategic early investment that likely contributes to strong later performance at Bullard Elementary.
