Summary

Burleson High School is a large, comprehensive public high school in the suburban Burleson Independent School District (Isd), serving 1,791 students in grades 9-12, just south of Fort Worth. While the district itself is rated highly, Burleson High School has experienced a notable decline in its overall state ranking over the past decade, dropping from the 73rd percentile to the 49th percentile in the most recent school year. This trend sets it apart from its primary district counterpart, Burleson Centennial High School, which has maintained a stable rank in the low-60th percentile over the same period, despite both schools having similar demographics and size.

The school shows an uneven academic profile, with students performing well in U.S. History and Biology—often meeting or exceeding state averages—but struggling significantly in Algebra I and English I & II Reading. For example, only 36.7% of students were proficient in Algebra I, compared to the district average of 52.8% and the state average of 54.0%. This suggests that the transition to high school-level math and reading may be a particular challenge for incoming 9th graders. Interestingly, the school has a bright spot with its English Language Learner students, who ranked in the 83rd percentile statewide in the 2024-2025 school year, indicating a potentially highly effective program for this group.

Despite the declining test scores, Burleson High School maintains a strong graduation rate of 95.1%, which is above both the district and state averages. This suggests the school is effective at keeping students on track to graduate, even if they struggle on standardized tests. The district's two magnet schools—Burleson Collegiate High School (ranked 99th percentile) and the Game Development Design School At Burleson Independent School District (Isd) (ranked 87th percentile)—are academic powerhouses that likely draw some of the highest-achieving students away from Burleson High School. The school's per-student spending of $9,817 is in the middle of the pack compared to nearby schools, suggesting that its challenges are more about resource allocation than overall funding levels.
