Summary

Tascosa High School in Amarillo, TX, is a large comprehensive high school serving 2,176 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Amarillo Independent School District (Isd), with just over half of its students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

Tascosa has consistently earned a 3-star rating from the state for the past four years, placing it as the middle performer among the district's three main comprehensive high schools. It outperforms Palo Duro High School and Caprock High School in most subjects but falls well short of Amarillo High School, which ranks in the 79th percentile. The school's most significant academic challenge is Algebra I, where only 33.83% of students are proficient—dramatically lower than the district and state averages. However, Tascosa shows relative strength in U.S. History and English II Reading, where it has met or exceeded state averages for several consecutive years. The school has also made notable progress in student retention, with its graduation rate climbing from 86.4% to 91.5% and its dropout rate cut by more than half over the past two years.

When compared to nearby schools in Canyon Independent School District (Isd), such as Randall High School and West Plains High School, Tascosa serves a more economically diverse student body and consistently trails in core subjects like English I and Biology. The school's primary challenge is translating its success in keeping students in school into higher academic achievement, particularly in Algebra I, while also addressing declining performance for its low-income students to ensure that its overall average performance does not mask disparities in how different student groups are served.
