ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT

At the British International School of Houston, we encourage students to become partners in their education with teachers and parents. Your child will learn how to participate actively in the present while acquiring skills for the future. 

International Baccalaureate (IB) Performance Highlights

The British International School of Houston's Class of 2024 results showcase a number of impressive statistics for this cohort, both individually and collectively:

• BIS Houston's IB students achieved an exceptional 92% IBDP pass rate – once again significantly higher than global average of 80%.
  
  
• This year the IBDP students achieved an average point score of 34.0, 12% higher than the global average of 30.32.
  
  
• 74% of our IBDP students scored on or above the global average.
  
  
• 13% of BIS Houston students achieved 40 points or more, a level of attainment achieved by only 4% of IBDP candidates worldwide this year.
  
  
• An impressive average subject score of 5.39, with the projected global average of 4.85.
  
  
• 100% pass rate for our Career Related Diploma (CP) students who followed dual enrolment courses at Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) and Baylor University.
  
  
• 9% of the IBDP cohort obtained a bilingual diploma, which requires literature qualifications in two languages and acquisition of an additional language, giving them a significant advantage when choosing universities and entering employment around the world.

We have long been proud of our students for consistently scoring considerably higher than the IB global average year over year. Recognised in more than 100 counties worldwide, the IB Programme is one of the most highly-regarded international curricula, well known for its breadth and academic rigor, which nurture a global outlook and prepare students for success at university and in their future working lives.

• Our students are using these amazing achievements to attend universities including Savannah School of Art & Design (SCAD), Nottingham Trent University, Leeds Trinity University, and the University of Texas.

Past IBDP Results

IGCSE Results

The GCSE and IGCSE are internationally respected qualifications studied by students between 14 and 16 years old. Respected by employers and universities, they cover a broad range of core subjects including maths, English, and science, as well as world languages, humanities, social sciences, art, drama, and music. They are the most academically challenging qualifications currently on offer for 14- to 16-year-old students worldwide, and many candidates go on to study the International Baccalaureate (IB).

Our students' continued success in GCSE and IGCSE results is a testament to BIS Houston’s high academic standards, excellent teaching, and the hard work and dedication of our students. Students continue to significantly outperform UK national averages.
