Ensley School was established in 1901 by the then-independent City of Ensley. A $7,000 loan for school construction was repaid from a special tax on saloons. The first principal was Ernest Bush.

Ensley School became part of the Birmingham City Schools system in 1910 when Ensley was annexed as part of the Greater Birmingham consolidation. In 1923 a new building was constructed nearby and Bush Middle School replaced the older Ensley School.
