Summary

Bushland J H is a middle school in Amarillo, TX, serving 350 students in grades 6-8 as part of the high-performing Bushland Independent School District (Isd).

This school stands out for its exceptional academic performance across all core subjects, consistently earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past decade. For example, 7th-grade Reading proficiency reached 78.69% compared to the state average of 54.04%, and 7th-grade Math proficiency was 62.6% versus the state's 29.41%. A key advantage is its remarkably low student-to-teacher ratio of 11.4:1, which is much smaller than nearby schools like Bonham Middle (18.9:1) and Austin Middle (17.9:1), allowing for more personalized attention. The school also demonstrates efficient resource use, spending about $8,791 per student—less than many lower-performing Amarillo ISD schools like Houston Middle ($11,867) and Mann Middle ($11,444)—while achieving top-tier results.

An interesting finding is the school's inclusive advanced math program: while many schools see high Algebra I scores from a small, select group of students, Bushland J H's score of 97.67% proficient suggests a much larger proportion of students are taking and succeeding in the course. The school serves its student subgroups exceptionally well, ranking in the 80th-90th percentile for Female, Male, Hispanic, White, and Special Education students. However, data for Multi-racial Students shows a 1-star rating, which is an area for the school to investigate. Overall, Bushland J H offers a consistently strong, efficient, and personalized education that outperforms most nearby schools, particularly those in the Amarillo Independent School District (Isd).
