Alum: I loved attending Trinity High School. My number 1 reason is because of its diversity. It is the 4th most diverse high school in the United States. This characteristic opened my eyes to all varieties of rich cultures from all around the world. I developed an appreciation and adoration for the differences we all displayed. Besides culture and religion, I saw everyone as my equal and loved them for the kind of people they were inside and out. We truly were a big family. The spirit on campus is amazing as well! One of my favorite things is the pep rallies the school holds every Friday of the week of the fall. The themes are so much fun. My favorite themed pep rallies have to be black out, which is the select theme for when we face our rivalry in football and also Culture Day. On this day we especially appreciate eachothers different cultures. It is so much fun because we get to perform cultural dances at the pep rally. Even the teachers favor this one. The teachers are very caring of us.... Read 735 reviews

Freshman: Overall, the school is really great! The diverse atmosphere of the school adds a sense of belonging, and it feels like we’re all one big family. The teachers really do care about their students, and they want them to be as successful as they can possibly be. As I’m writing this, we are amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and Ridge has fought through it amazingly. Although implementing safety protocols and social distancing rules has put a barrier on having a “normal” school year, the teachers still care just as much, if not more for their students. I believe Fossil Ridge is a great school, and it truly is better at the Ridge!... Read 546 reviews

Junior: Richland Collegiate High School is an excellent school for students who are dedicated to getting ahead in their studies. With the completion of this program, one will receive their high school diploma and associates degree. It has been an eye opening experience on the reality of every aspect of college regarding classes, grading, time management discipline, and career preparation. Staff and administration really want the best for their students in order for them to succeed regarding resources, communication, and overall support. It is fairly easy to make friends as we are all here for one main goal and we support each other on that aspect. The only downside is that there are no sports but overtime you don't notice because you're so focused on your studies. P.S. Yes! RCHS does have prom.... Read 899 reviews

Senior: During my time in this school, I got the chance to meet people coming from different backgrounds. Diversity was one of the things that caught my attention in this school and I love interacting with other people who are different from me. It made me more open-minded and educated on the different races, religions, perspectives, etc... I developed respect for my friends and classmates in my school. When it came to my classes, I had the opportunity to take classes that would help me in colleges such as dual credit and AP classes. I also took career-related classes which helped me have an idea of what I want to do after graduating high school. I'm glad that I am in this school because I was able to show people who I am as well as learn from others. I will be sad when I graduate from this school this year because of all the relationships I created with students and teachers, but at the same time, I am looking forward to starting my career and a new chapter in my life....

Senior: I went to Kempner through my four years of high school. Overall, I think Kempner is an amazing school. All the teachers are very understanding and kind. They offer a variety of sports, clubs, and classes. One of my favorite parts is that they offer Dual credit courses in school. . Another thing I enjoyed about Kempner was how it was so diverse. You can find a variety of loving people/students at the school. The teachers and councilors at the school are very supportive and are there whenever you need them. Most importantly the college readiness counselor has a set plan and dates for when you should get things done which makes the application process very easy. Kempner high school is also a very spirited school, we love to wear our school colors which are maroon on Fridays to support our sports teams that are playing. We also have a week dedicated to school spit. At the end I would highly recommend incoming students to go to Kempner!... Read 693 reviews

Junior: I am an upcoming junior in Bellaire High School and my experience in this school has been delightful and amazing so far! I wish I was still a freshmen with the ability to still enjoy the fresh and academic atmosphere. The teachers are excellent in the ability to develop students academically and spiritually, guiding the students towards success! The students strive to become knowledgeable and at the same time time themselves to become better citizens due to the guidance of the dedicated teachers. As a matter of fact, becoming a part of the Bellaire community and society played a major role in drastically improving myself as a productive, respectful citizen. The school is also expanding to accommodate more incoming students in order to provide a wonderful high school experience from the VERY start! To sum up Bellaire, is the ONLY high school I recommend incoming students and anyone that wishes to keep their high school memory special later on in life. My verdict: Bellaire is a MUST-GO!...

Junior: Seeing as I have attended this school for the past two years, I have been appreciative of the sense of community the school has established. There is a strong connection between staff, teachers, and students. Teachers are typically readily available with resources to assist students. In terms of diversity, students at Travis come from many different backgrounds. This school has given me the opportunity to understand and educate myself on a variety cultures! Travis also offers a wide range of academic subjects and classes, all at different difficulty levels for students to easily choose which level suits them best. Amongst the various classes, the school allows students to begin clubs and activities with the assistance of a sponsor. Everyone at this school is supportive of each other, and I have definitely enjoyed my time at this high school. The student culture highlights the sense of community, and I am grateful that the school emphasizes the importance of school pride and education!... Read 731 reviews

Senior: LOVE the welcoming and diverse atmosphere along with the dedicated and driven team of teachers, administrators, and staff! This program not only allows students to pursue a step further within our academic journey but also manages to accommodate our High school experience so that we don't have to miss out on traditional high school aspects. I went in blind and excited and left driven and determined. This program does an outstanding job at introducing students to college life and a world of opportunities. Each step that is taken is carefully planned and constructed in order to result in the best performance possible whether it be for the staff or students. Often parents and incoming students assume that the high school aspect will be missed out on due to our lack of sports and association with other KISD schools within the district, however, I can assure you the program and staff go out of their way to make sure we get to live and experience all traditional high school milestones....

Alum: Even before attending Plano West, I had heard about its highly academic environment and extremely hardworking students. Once a member of the Wolfpack, I soon grew to hold the same opinion. Most of the students at Plano West are deeply dedicated to their interests, whether it be a core class such as Chemistry or History, electives such as Sports, Art or Music, and many clubs the school has to offer. As an art student I must rave especially about the Art department, as the teachers are phenomenal. They provide excellent tools, recourses, and education to their students, and genuinely wish to make connections with them in order to ensure their experience in the classroom is as inspiring and productive as possible. Many of my other teachers were also wonderful and have an obvious passion for passing down knowledge to our generation. For this reason, I do wish they were paid more. All in all, a great high school that prepares you for college while providing many academic resources.... Read 1,138 reviews

I met people who changed my life and helped shape me into the person I am today.

Senior: Hi, I’m a current senior at DeBakey and I really love this school! Even though DeBakey is a challenge, for people who want to enter the heath or STEM fields this school is the perfect choice. DeBakey has great teachers in all departments, who are always willing to help if the student shows interest. However, this school places special emphasis on the sciences and mathematics. We even have special anatomy and health sciences classes to accommodate our interests. Also, we have many AP classes to choose, especially juniors and seniors. The best part is, without a doubt, going to hospitals and shadowing nurses for about 4-6 hours each week! The overall student body at DeBakey is very receptive and understanding because the school is so small. All in all, if you want to succeed at DeBakey, be focused, but also join clubs, hang out with friends, and go to the school dances to have some fun!... Read 658 reviews

Senior: Coming from a large middle school, the Environment at Clear Horizons was quite a change. Here, you arent surrounded by random peers and thousands of other students. At clear Horizons, we are family. There are around 500 kids in my school which is shocking to outsiders. The best thing about this school is the support system that you couldn't get at public schools. Everyone knows who you are and you know who everyone else is too. You grow relationships and bonds with the teachers and the most of the students. Everyone youre surrounded by is here to help when needs and support your goals. I have made friends that stick with me for the rest of my life and im so honored to have been accepted into Clear Horizons. This school allows you to prepare for college with its dual diploma program, form life long friendships, and try new things like all the different clubs and activities on campus. I wouldn't get this type of education anywhere else in the district. Clear Horizons is one of a kind!... Read 354 reviews

Alum: Amazing staff and faculty, teachers really want students to succeed. This school is so ethnically diverse and provides all students with so many opportunities. I took hold of some of these opportunities. During highschool I was involved in a group called teens offering peer support, dental club, AVID, and dual credit health sciences. High school was such a roller coaster but it was such a learning experience for me. I learned some leadership skills and qualities while attending high school. Covid affected my junior and senior years of high school, so the peak of my involvement in my high school extracurriculars did come to an abrupt halt during that time, but looking back I can see that everything does happen for a reason. Looking at things from a reflective perspective can shape the way you view things. Overall I can recall so many memories of being a student here and overcoming hurdles that many high schoolers face during this transitional time in our lives. RHS eagles soar high...

The school is also clean, well-maintained and has ample resources for students. In addition to these qualities, the staff at the school are all friendly, professional, and cooperative. There are also police officers on site, which makes the school feel very safe. I would also like to mention the diversity of the student body. The students consist of many different cultural and ethic background. (they even have clubs and organizations for the different cultures). Speaking of clubs and organizations, the diverse options for clubs and organizations for student to join is amazing! There are clubs for everything, from clubs for asian-american students to book clubs and even a club for marvel fanatics.

Senior: The teachers at Harmony really show that they value the students and their students' education, not just their own paychecks. They care about a lot about the students and build connections as well as trust with many if not all of their students. I have loved almost all of my teachers so far and I feel that not only myself but many other students trust these teachers with things that we don't trust many other people with. They are not only educators but they are life coaches, friends, and practically parents. The only problem is the lack of control that the students show in the day to day. Some of the students here lack self control and do not listen well to authority, so it is a bit frustrating to see the teachers constantly trying to reel the class back in because someone was goofing off again....

Junior: Mansfield Summit High School is really like a family. There's times where we're arguing, laughing, smiling, crying, and/ or mad but it doesn't take away from the fact everyone here want the best for you. The teachers treat students differently based on the way they act which is a good because not everyone learns or can be talked to the same way so they accommodate themselves to each and every student. The administration is great they stay on kids although it gets annoying we all rather have that than no one caring because some people already get that at home so school is really a break for it all. The students all find their own way to many friends groups and usually stick with them; it's not really a popular group or split groups like in the movies you can usually have a conversation with anybody willing to let have one with them....

Sports and extracurricular activities are very important to the school; however, academics comes first. Dawson is among one of the most competitive public schools in the state of Texas; from their test scores, to their merit scholars, one would definitely be pushed to their academic limits. Dawson is also one big melting pot. The diversity is immaculate and it is almost impossible to feel alone or underrepresented walking the halls of Dawson!

Senior: Some of the teachers are great and understand where you are coming from, but others, not so much. However, that is expected from every school. If you like doing musical theater, singing, band, or orchestra, this is definitely the highlight of the school. They put lots of effort into music and arts making it enjoyable. Everything else is about average so not too bad. The administration acts too strict, but does not really do much in the end, so being intimidated is a waste of time. They also do not really believe in your abilities, so trying to get a more supportive atmosphere in academics only applies if you kiss-up to the teachers. They think if you waste time in class you are not going to do good in life, even if you end up getting A's in the class. They hate when you do not have to try in their class and still end up doing good compared to harder workers, so they show a lot of favoritism.... Read 218 reviews

Senior: As a senior at Clear Brook, I have had the opportunity to explore several different fields of learning and activities. As a two-year marcher in the school band and current guitarist for the jazz band, I am proud to say that the music program is top-tier here at Brook. Our fine arts programs frequently hold community events and performances for the public, which are all well worth seeing. Our sports programs are lacking in many areas, but the facilities are very well equipped, consisting of three weight rooms, three gyms, an indoor pool, and several sports fields. Another school facility I am very proud of is the library, with offers a plethora of novels, manga, nonfiction books, and study guides, as well as technology, like computers and 3D printers, all for student and faculty use. Advanced academics are a huge advantage at Clear Brook. We have a massive array of AP, CTE, and art-centered classes, all taught by highly qualified and enthusiastic teachers. Go Clear Brook!...
