Summary

Humphrey's Highland Elementary is a PK-5 school in the Amarillo Independent School District (Isd) serving 567 students in a high-poverty area, where over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has experienced a sharp recent decline, dropping from a 73rd percentile (4-star) rating in 2022-2023 to a 31st percentile (2-star) rating for 2024-2025, a stark contrast to nearby Sunrise Elementary (0.8 miles away), which has risen to the 87th percentile (4-star) in the same period. This downturn is the central story of the school's data, though it may not be permanent, as individual grade-level cohorts show varying strengths.

A unique positive differentiator is the school's exceptional performance on STAAR Spanish exams, where it consistently outperforms both district and state averages in Spanish Reading across all tested grades—for example, 5th-grade Spanish Reading proficiency was 52.94% compared to the district's 47.17% and state's 34.82%. This suggests a highly effective bilingual program, while the English-language program struggles, with most scores falling below averages. Another bright spot is 4th-grade Math, where 51.09% of students were proficient, outperforming both the district (46.8%) and state (49.28%) averages, a notable achievement given that 3rd and 5th-grade Math scores lag behind.

The school spends significantly less per student ($9,835) compared to nearby peers like Sunrise Elementary ($14,621) and Rogers Elementary ($12,311), despite serving a similarly high-needs population. This lower investment, combined with a higher student-teacher ratio (15.6 vs. 10.8 at Sunrise), may be a contributing factor to the recent struggles. The school has historically been effective with "At-Risk" students (ranking in the 87th percentile in 2018-2019), but its performance with economically disadvantaged students has been more moderate, suggesting that strategies that once worked may need updating.
