  1. Aledo High School

    • Aledo Independent School District, TX
    • 9-12
    • 297
    1 Best High School Sports in Texas

    Alum: I once saw a map of Fort Worth in a book called "Judgemental Maps" and on the map Aledo was labeled "Parents who think their kids are too good for Fort Worth schools". I laughed at how accurate this was! I was my third high School I went to and the only word to describe this school is extravagant! The academics were generally very productive and enjoyable as well as the teachers. The athletics were top ranking in almost every sport although I never involved myself with any because they did not offer my sport (Lacrosse). My only complaint is the diversity, generally all of the students were well educated, white upper middle class who were very sheltered. Although even with this fact, I found it very easy to make friends and everyone was very accepting!

    • Dallas, TX
    • 9-12

    2 Best High School Sports in Texas

    Senior: Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas is one of the best high schools in the nation. The expectations of each student are specified in the Profile of the Graduate, explained in 6 categories: Physically Fit, Intellectually Competent, Loving, Open to Growth, Religious, and Committed to Working for Justice. This profile is ingrained into each student when they graduate from Jesuit. This is accomplished by great excellence in teaching, abundant resources for students, impeccable clubs and extracurricular programs, empathetic and effective counseling, top-tier athletics, and a sense of community and meaning exclusive to this high school. I am a third-generation student at Jesuit. My grandfather and father both cherish their short four years at Jesuit that helped them become the men for other they are today. This school has done so much for my family and for so many other families. I am truly lucky to attend Jesuit Dallas and to soon become a part of its prestigious alumni.

    3 Best High School Sports in Texas

    Senior: My overall experience this year at Trinity Highschool was really fun! There are tons of opportunities for every individual and no one is left out. What I like about this school is that it is very diverse and celebrates that by having our football team perform the “Hakka”- a war dance, before and after every game. Although I think the school is great, the counselors need to be better and know the correct information that they are giving students. There once was a issue where I was given different information from my counselor regarding taking dual credit classes at a college.

    7 Best High School Sports in Texas

    Senior: Del Valle is a place where anyone can be who they want be. You can dress any way you want but according to the dress code. The clubs and organizations are pretty awsome and unique where all the students have so much fun. The school is full of school spirt and students are always part of school events some way or anouther. Most of the teachers are really cool and you find them as close to a friend where they joke around with their students but at the same time they know when its time to get serious and teach. Something i would recommend that should change is the attendence administration, sometimes they talk to you a bit harsh but who doesn't have their bad days. I personally think Del Valle is a great school since my junior year I moved to Americas H.S and it sucked and I ended up transfering back to Del Valle on second semester.

    8 Best High School Sports in Texas

    Senior: The Woodlands High School is a fantastic place to go to school. We recently won the Lone Star Cup, meaning that we have superior academics and athletics. Almost all of the teachers here care a lot about what they are teaching and their students themselves. Although it is a big school with over 1,000 students in each class, there are still plenty of resources for everyone to be successful. Extracurricular activities are good here too. There are opportunities to get leadership roles with different clubs such as student council or a foreign language club etc. The point is, there are opportunities for every student to be successful and to also have fun while going to school here. Go Highlanders!

    High School Senior: I love my school. Manvel creates this unique vibe that fills every students soul. Yeah I know, sounds cheesy but it really does feel like a family. In everything that we do, we are supported. Students, teachers, counselors, janitors, and coaches are all apart of the reason why we keep going everyday. We like to succeed together as a whole. Football games are my absolute favorite. Its like we all are on the field! Everyone is cheering for everyone. Everyone is considered family. When one cry, we all cry. When one laugh, we all laugh. When one is successful, in spirit, we're all successful. There's nothing that can compare to the pride that my school has.

    Alum: I am a Byron P. Steele High School graduate. I loved every moment of my high school experience. Steele is such an upbeat school, that takes pride in Academics and our amazing football team. The teachers care about the students on many different levels. They want us to succeed more than anything. The diversity of the school made us one big family, many different personalities and skills that brought us together. There was never a dull moment whether it was learning in the classrooms or screaming in the stands on Friday nights. I made the best of my High School experience and I wouldn't trade that for the world. Steele High School was the best school I have attended. Once a Knight always a Knight!

  16. Tatum High School

    • Tatum Independent School District, TX
    • 9-12

    12 Best High School Sports in Texas

    Senior: Although many bad, yet uncontrollable, things happened at Tatum Schools does mean it is a bad school. Tatum is a small town so everybody knows everybody, which I like because sometimes knowing people in high places often helps you succeed in life. Tatum has Chromebooks and projectors in every room, as well as tons of books in the library. Often as a senior many teachers will tell you that you are not prepared for college because of the way we are "babied" through high school, and most of them are right. Students would be able to turn in work weeks late and receive the same credit as the student who turned it in on time; however, that is now changed. You have three days to turn in the assignment or you will simply get a zero. This has helped to better prepare us, but there are still a few adjustments that can be made to ensure that seniors know what to expect when they go off to college in the fall.

    Alum: Midway High School is an all around great school. Each year gets more and more competitive with not only the sports that are involved but also the academics. There is a wide range of sports and classes to choose from. There are regular, pre-ap, AP, fine art, sports, and agriculture classes. Every student and staff stays up to date with what is going on around the campuses and have lots of opportunities to be active in extracurriculars like sports, clubs invented by their own classmates, and even get to share their opinions about lunches and dances. This school always shows team spirit and cheers on every aspect that is a part of Midway. Overall, everyone can fit in and feel like they belong at Midway.

    Senior: I love everything about Ryan High School. The last four years have been so much fun! I wish the staff would've encouraged involvement in clubs more than they did. Overall, it was great experience and I'm sad it's all coming to an end. With graduation right around the corner, I'm starting to regret all the things I didn't do at Ryan. I should've applied myself to my classes in which I was provided with amazing teachers. Ryan was beyond excellent compared to other high schools in the area. We are forever the home of champions.

    Senior: Churchill is a really really populated school with over 3 thousand people! I went to Alamo heights junior school for middle school and planning on going to Alamo heights high school after finishing middle school but my family had bought a house and was forced to transfer high school so we decided that i should go to Churchill. At first i really hated the idea, i didn't want to leave all of the friends i made from middle school, i didn't want to start over! But Churchill turns out to be a really good high school despite the amount of people it has in it. In the 4 years I've been studying in Churchill, I've seen 0 bullies and have never been bullied unlike middle school. It was a really competitive high school for ranking. Teachers, Churchill literally has the best teachers ever! They were the nicest people ever, they make learning environment better and classes more relaxing, shout out to Mr.Johnson, my favorite algebra 2 teacher. I would recommend this high school to future freshmen!

I realized that Calallen was the best school I had ever been to; furthermore, I felt comfortable, I was encouraged, and the teachers and students actually cared about my success. From Academics to things like College Readiness, CHS has shaped me into the determined person I am today.

    Niche User: Highland Park High School provides an amazing experience for me. It gives me the best education by hiring well educated teachers and obtaining nice facility equipment which further expand on my learning. Even though Highland Park is a small town and has a small school, I believe that the town is pretty diverse. A variety of students attend this school and everyone gets to say what they believe. Additionally, the school's order is terrific. In many other schools around the world face problems like HIV, suicidal, or other problems that danger the students. Even though there are several problems which bother the students, Highland Park High School provides a safe environment to obtain new knowledge. In many year, this high school did not face problems that harms the students. In my opinion, Highland Park High School is a friendly and safe school to go to.

At Mansfield Highschool the teachers were very passionate towards the students not only in academics but extracurricular activities as well. During football games or band competitions, there were many familiar faces. A change that I would like to see at Mansfield Highschool is the communication of information. There were times when students would miss the announcement and important information. Overall Mansfield Highschool is an amazing school with excellent resources and staff.
