As well as from Bullsbrook, the school attracts students from Bindoon, Gingin, Muchea and parts of the Swan Valley. [2]
The school was opened in 1952 as Bullsbrook Primary School, replacing an earlier school in Bullsbrook built in 1901. It was soon renamed to Bullsbrook Junior High School in 1954. [3]

In 2005, construction began on $7 million worth of primary school facilities at Bullsbrook District High School. [5] These facilities opened in March 2008. They included new classroom blocks, a new canteen, new assembly area, replacement of transportable classrooms with newer ones, refurbishment of some existing facilities, and drainage improvements to the school's oval so it can be used year-round. [6]
Construction on a $23.6 million upgrade to the school started in September 2011, providing eight new classrooms, a new sports hall, materials and technology block, and science facilities. [7] Construction was complete by September 2014. [8]
