Summary

Bushland High School is a small, high-performing public high school located on the western outskirts of Amarillo, TX, serving just under 500 students in grades 9-12 as part of the highly-ranked Bushland Independent School District (Isd).

Bushland High School stands out from its neighbors with a perfect 100% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, a record unmatched by other strong area schools like Amarillo High School (97.1%) or Randall High School (95.8%). The school consistently outperforms the state average in core subjects like Biology, English I, and English II, and its very low student-to-teacher ratio of 11.1:1 suggests smaller class sizes and more individualized attention. However, there is one notable exception: Algebra I proficiency has been a persistent weak point, with only 41% of students proficient compared to the state average of 54% and even below the rate at Palo Duro High School (61.1%).

While the school excels for its average student, recent data reveals some challenges for specific groups. Performance for Gifted and Talented students has dropped dramatically from the 48th percentile to the 20th percentile over the past few years, suggesting the school may need to focus on providing more challenge for its highest-achieving learners. Compared to nearby schools like River Road High School and Tascosa High School, Bushland offers a fundamentally different learning environment, with a lower percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch (17.1%) and a strong track record of academic success that makes it a top-tier option in the Amarillo region.
