Summary

Humphrey's Highland Elementary is a public elementary school in Amarillo, Texas, serving 539 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Amarillo Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 411 out of 961 school districts in the state.

While Humphrey's Highland Elementary spends more per student ($9,835 in 2020-2021) compared to the state average and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.8, its academic performance has been declining in recent years. The school's statewide ranking has dropped from 1034 out of 4,329 Texas elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 3,211 out of 4,651 in 2024-2025. On STAAR tests, Humphrey's Highland Elementary students perform below the Amarillo ISD and Texas state averages, particularly in reading and mathematics. For example, in 2024-2025, only 30.95% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 50.27% for Amarillo ISD and 52.02% for Texas.

Interestingly, Glenwood Elementary and Sunrise Elementary, two nearby schools in the Amarillo ISD, have higher STAAR test scores and statewide rankings despite having similar student demographics and funding levels. This suggests that factors beyond just socioeconomic status and resources may be contributing to the underperformance of Humphrey's Highland Elementary.
