Amarillo Independent School District (Isd)

The Amarillo Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates a diverse set of 54 schools, including 37 elementary schools, 12 middle schools, and 5 high schools. The district serves a wide range of student populations, with some standout high-performing schools as well as others that are struggling academically.

A few schools in the Amarillo ISD stand out as top performers, including Woodlands Elementary and Windsor Elementary, which are ranked in the top 5% of Texas elementary schools. At the middle school level, Crockett Middle and Bonham Middle are in the top 25% of Texas middle schools. And Amarillo High School is ranked in the top 16% of Texas high schools.

However, the district also exhibits significant performance gaps, with wide disparities in graduation rates, dropout rates, and proficiency on state assessments across the schools. These gaps appear to correlate with socioeconomic factors, as well as the racial/ethnic composition of the student populations. While there are some "bright spots" of high-performing schools serving disadvantaged communities, the Amarillo ISD data suggests the need for targeted interventions to promote greater equity and excellence across the district.
