Bosqueville H S, Waco TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Bosqueville H S

Bosqueville High School is a small, regular public high school in the Waco area serving grades 9-12, with an enrollment measured in the low hundreds across all four grade levels. The student body is predominantly white, with a substantial Hispanic student population and smaller numbers from other backgrounds. About one-third of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, placing the school in the lower-middle economic band for its county.

The school's most recent state testing data comes from 2012-13. At that time, English language arts proficiency was strong across the tested grades, with solid results in math and science at the eighth-grade level, though eighth-grade social studies showed lower performance. The current-year state test results (2024-25) show that when students meet or exceed proficiency standards across all tested subjects, the overall proficiency index places Bosqueville in the top quartile among McLennan County districts. English proficiency continues as a relative strength. In math, about two-thirds of students meet standards and nearly one-third achieve mastery. Science and social studies show most students reaching proficiency, though mastery rates remain modest in both. This mixed pattern, with solid achievement on the "meets standard" threshold but lower rates of advanced mastery, is typical for schools its size and demographic composition.

State testing data for grades 9-12 and high school end-of-course exams are not included in the available records, so a reader seeking a full picture of high school academic performance should request that information directly from the school.

The district, Bosqueville ISD, has made infrastructure investments relevant to families considering the area. In 2023, voters approved a bond that funded classroom additions, renovated science labs, a new cafeteria, a band hall, and security upgrades including enclosed hallways and perimeter fencing. Construction began in 2024. The property tax rate in the district increased as a result, an ongoing cost parents should factor into their housing decision. Beginning in 2024-25, the district implemented the state's Teacher Incentive Allotment program, which ties teacher compensation to instructional performance and is designed to support retention.

Housing values in the area have moved modestly downward year over year. Median rent is in the low range for the region, and median home values are below state and national benchmarks, making the area relatively affordable by recent standards. Waco itself is undergoing large-scale downtown redevelopment that is publicly reported to include mixed-use development, new civic facilities, and residential and commercial investment. The long-term economic trajectory of the area may be relevant to families evaluating housing stability and property values.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
