Summary

Bishop High School in Bishop, TX, is a mid-sized high school serving 533 students in grades 9-12 and is part of the high-performing Bishop Consolidated Independent School District, which ranks in the 91st percentile statewide. This school stands out as a top-tier academic institution in the region, consistently earning a 4-star rating for the last four years and ranking in the 85th percentile among all Texas high schools. It excels across all core subjects, with proficiency rates well above the state average—for example, 85.6% in Biology and 77.6% in English II, compared to state averages of 70.5% and 59.9%, respectively. This well-rounded performance is rare and makes Bishop the highest-ranked school in its vicinity, outperforming nearby schools like H M King High School (17th percentile) and Robstown Early College High School (21st percentile).

One of the most impressive aspects of Bishop High School is its remarkable turnaround from a pandemic dip. In the 2020-2021 school year, the school fell to the 20th percentile, but it staged an incredible recovery, jumping to the 68th percentile the next year and climbing steadily to its current 85th percentile. This rapid improvement highlights strong leadership and instructional quality. Additionally, the school excels with its economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 89th percentile for this subgroup, which is a stark contrast to schools like Banquete High School (93.5% economically disadvantaged) that rank much lower overall. Bishop also boasts a high graduation rate of 98% and a very low dropout rate of 0.4%, compared to H M King High School's 82% graduation rate and 4.4% dropout rate.

Bishop High School achieves these outstanding results while spending less per student than many nearby schools—$11,717 per student compared to $15,926 at Kaufer High School and $16,097 at Banquete High School. This efficient use of resources provides a strong return on investment for the community. The school serves as a clear academic leader in a challenging region, where many surrounding districts like Kingsville ISD and Robstown ISD rank in the bottom 5% of all Texas districts. For parents seeking a school that consistently delivers high academic outcomes, supports all students effectively, and uses resources wisely, Bishop High School is a standout choice.
