Summary

Bushland Intermediate in Amarillo, TX, serves 314 students in grades 3-5 within the highly-rated Bushland Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the 90th percentile statewide.

This school is a solid performer, consistently earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 74th to 78th percentile among Texas elementary schools. Its core academic programs in Reading and Math are effective, with Reading being a clear strength across all grade levels. However, the school shows inconsistent performance in Science, with 5th-grade proficiency rates (23.76% in 2024-2025) falling below the state average and well behind nearby high-flyers like Puckett Elementary (63.79%) and Windsor Elementary (51.43%). While Bushland is a strong choice within its district, it is not the top performer in the area; schools like Woodlands Elementary (97th percentile) and Arden Road Elementary (93rd percentile) have significantly higher overall state rankings and dominant test scores.

A key differentiator is the school's very low rate of economic disadvantage, with only 13.38% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, compared to rates of 30-59% at nearby schools in the Amarillo Independent School District (Isd). The school has shown a recent, dramatic improvement in serving its low-income students, jumping from the 32nd percentile to the 63rd percentile in one year. However, it consistently underperforms with its White student population (low 50th percentile for three years) and shows extreme volatility in its Gifted and Talented program, which swung from the 26th to the 79th percentile in consecutive years. The school is part of a strong pipeline with its sister school, Bushland Elementary (PK-2), also a high-performing school serving a similarly affluent population.
