Summary

Bland High School is a small, rural high school in Farmersville, TX, serving 220 students in grades 9-12 and is part of the highly-rated Bland Independent School District (Isd).

Bland High School stands out for its exceptionally high graduation rates, consistently near or at 100% for the last two recorded years, and a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 11.8:1, which is significantly better than the state average and most nearby schools like Princeton Senior High School (16.9:1) and Community High School (20.1:1). The school demonstrates clear academic strengths in Biology and U.S. History, with proficiency rates well above the state average and often the highest among nearby schools. For example, Bland’s Biology proficiency rate of 89.09% surpasses even high-performing peers like Caddo Mills High School (81.45%). Additionally, Bland’s Gifted and Talented program ranks in the 92nd percentile statewide, earning a 5-star rating, and the school is highly effective at supporting students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the 73rd percentile for this subgroup.

However, Bland’s overall profile has some volatility. While it excels in Biology and U.S. History, it consistently struggles with Algebra I, where only 49.15% of students are proficient, below the state average. Performance with Special Education students also dropped from the 88th percentile to the 52nd percentile in recent years. Compared to its closest neighbor, Farmersville High School, Bland offers a more personalized, science-focused education with a stronger guarantee of on-time graduation, though both schools have similar overall rankings. This suggests Bland is an excellent choice for families seeking a small, supportive environment with strong outcomes in specific subjects, but it may require additional support for students needing help in math.

Open Quote Teachers and students are bullies. Teachers and counsler will encourage your kid to drop out and join the military opposed to helping them achieve. Sexting, sending nudes, bullying and threatening students is permitted and even encouraged. If your not a favorite or in one of the cliques you will not ever be able to participate in any school sport, FFA, or any other organization. The students that are part of those cliques and the parents will tell you they join those teams and organizations to get out of class. Close Quote
