Summary

Randall High School in Amarillo, TX, is a mid-sized high school serving 1,126 students in grades 9-12 as part of the highly-rated Canyon Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 80th percentile statewide. The school boasts a low student-to-teacher ratio of 13.6:1 and exceptional student retention, with a graduation rate of 95.8% and a dropout rate of just 0.5%—far better than nearby schools like Palo Duro High School (90.0% graduation, 1.2% dropout) and Tascosa High School (91.5% graduation, 1.1% dropout). This makes Randall a standout for keeping students on track to graduate, though its overall academic ranking has slipped to the 58th percentile (3 stars) in recent years.

Academically, Randall shows clear strengths and one notable weakness. The school excels in Biology, with proficiency rates consistently between 65% and 73% over the past four years, outperforming the state average and often matching its district. It also serves economically disadvantaged students effectively, ranking in the 65th percentile for this group in 2024-2025. However, Algebra I is a persistent challenge, with only 42.15% of students proficient in 2025-2026—well below the district average of 64.36% and the state average of 54.03%. This issue isn't unique to Randall; nearly every nearby high school, including Caprock High School and West Plains High School, also struggles in this area, suggesting a broader regional challenge in math instruction.

Compared to its district neighbor West Plains High School, just 3.76 miles away, Randall offers more individualized attention with a lower student-to-teacher ratio (13.6 vs. 15.4) and outperforms in U.S. History, but West Plains has a slight edge in English I and II reading. The clear academic leader in the area is Amarillo High School, which ranks in the 79th percentile and significantly outperforms Randall in nearly every subject, despite having a similar poverty rate. A concerning trend is Randall's declining support for special populations: Special Education students have ranked in the bottom 30% for three years, and Gifted and Talented student support has dropped from the 88th percentile to the 26th percentile in just a few years, indicating a need for renewed focus on challenging all learners.
