Summary

George Bush High School in Richmond, TX, serves 2,428 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Fort Bend Independent School District (Isd), and has recently shown a strong turnaround after a period of decline, now earning a 3-star rating and ranking in the 51st percentile.

This school stands out for its remarkable improvement over the past two years, climbing 16 percentile points from a low of the 35th percentile in 2022-2023. This broad-based recovery is especially notable for specific student groups, with the school performing in the 66th percentile for students from low socio-economic backgrounds and the 74th percentile for English Language Learners. However, challenges remain: only 47% of students are proficient in Algebra I, which is 13 points below the district average and 32 points below the nearby Harmony School Of Innovation-Sugar Land. Additionally, the graduation rate of 87.1% is 5.4 points below the district average and significantly lower than the 97.4% rate at William B Travis High School.

Compared to its neighbors, George Bush offers a mixed picture. It outperforms standard Alief Independent School District (Isd) high schools like Elsik High School and Taylor High School in English I Reading proficiency (50.6% vs. 32% and 31.5%, respectively). The school also excels with its Gifted and Talented students, ranking in the 73rd percentile. While schools like Stephen F Austin High School and Kempner High School maintain higher overall rankings, George Bush’s rapid improvement and strong support for economically disadvantaged students make it a compelling option for families seeking a school on an upward trajectory.
