    • Hurst-Euless-Bedford Independent School District, TX
    • 10-12
    • 605
    #1 Most Diverse Public High Schools in Texas

    Senior: My experience with trinity high school has been quite thoughtful. Trinity high school has let me try out many academic studies and throughout all of the years I have been attending, I have got to say, it was really fun. Diversity is a major factor that we endorse, we are all from different areas of the world and for trinity to be welcoming to everyone is warm. Our mascot, the "Trinity Trojan", is what we call ourselves because we don't let let small battles take us down we overcome them and go big!

    • 9-12
    • 1,029
    #2 Most Diverse Public High Schools in Texas

    Freshman: In my opinion, Plano East Senior High School is a great place for high school students. The school offers an IB Program and has exceptional academics. This is due to the great teachers who enhance the educational experience. Furthermore, the high school has a variety of clubs from Computer Science to Fashion and more. Similarly, there are many sports like tennis, soccer, football, volleyball, and others. PESH, as the school is commonly called, is a diverse environment as well with students from different ethnic groups, contributing to its diversification.
    Upperclassmen are given the privilege of eating lunch off-campus while lowerclassmen are restricted to the campus. However, the cafeteria's food is above average and there are many great locations to eat. PESH's long chain of buildings encompass a large pond with fountains, serving as a scenic lunch spot. Facilities like the library and lunch-time tutorials are also open. Overall, I think that Plano East is a great school to attend.

    #3 Most Diverse Public High Schools in Texas

    Senior: Richland Collegiate High School provided me with an outlet to get a head start on my career life as a cardiologist. Before coming to this school and discovering this program, imagining the amount of years it would take to become a doctor was overwhelming. Finding out about to program allowed me to acquire two free years of college! I was able to meet some amazing friends and participate in activities for the betterment of my school. I built many new and transferable skills. Additionally, with my year-long capstone research project, I got to find a problem I was interested in and create a end product to help improve those suffering from the problem.

    Charlottesville Catholic School

    • Private School
    • Charlottesville, VA
    • PK, K-8
    • 7

    Parent: Our family LOVES CCS! Our two boys went through CCS and are much better young men and students as a result. The overall environment at the Catholic School is exceptional. Academically, the students are encouraged, supported, and pushed to do their very best in the classroom. The teachers do an amazing job of reaching each student individually which translates into a trusting, caring, and successful school experience for the student, the parent(s), and also the teacher. In and out of the classroom the teachers and staff also do an extraordinary job of instilling discipline, self-respect and respect for others, thoughtfulness, and a sense of community and personal responsibility. Our boys continue to excel each and every year both as students and as young men in our community and I believe those valuable traits are a direct result of the foundation, mentorship, and guidance that they received as students at the Charlottesville Catholic School.

    Alum: The IB program at Bellaire is terrific- great guidance and learning opportunities! The AP program is also top-notch. Both had great teachers. The physics and chemistry departments are lacking except for the Physics C course! The advanced classes all had incredible teachers, especially math and biology. The school environment was great and the administrators were fair and quite diverse, just as the student body. The principle is wonderful and kind with great pride for his students and their achievements. He knows a vast majority of them by name and also things they have accomplished.

    Junior: Kempner High School is an environment like no other. The last two years of my life have been absolutely amazing as I enter my junior year. Kempner High School has provided me with numerous opportunities to make new friends, memories, and discoveries. Walking through the crowded hallways, I can honestly say that I feel at home amongst the students and teachers. Everyone you meet is friendly and eager to help, always. I am blessed to be surrounded by people of all different sizes, shapes, skin tones. There is so much diversity and creativity at Kempner that it is almost impossible to feel left out. Kempner High School is a place where everybody belongs. We are cougar strong!

    Freshman: CVHS is one of the top high schools in the nation for a reason. You're going to have to stay up late doing homework, you will not be able to go to parties and do the typical-things-a-teenager-does. But honestly, as long as you work hard, dedicate almost all your time to school, and have people to help you out, then you should do good here. I am a freshman here at Carnegie Vanguard and I am proud to say that my lowest report card grade was a 90!

    #7 Most Diverse Public High Schools in Texas

    Senior: The atmosphere around our school is just so different from all the other schools in the district. Statistically, we are one of the poorest schools within the district but we come first ethnicity wise. Our diverse school allows everyone to express themselves in a way a different race could truly understand. We have way more foreign exchange students come to out school because they want to experience the epitome of America based on our education and ethnicity. Our school has a saying, "It's better at the Ridge!" This is just a reminder of how hard each student works to achieve their goals through finding a club that suits them well. I am proud to have my high school experience at Fossil Ridge and I am most definitely proud to be a panther!

    • 571
    #8 Most Diverse Public High Schools in Texas

    Senior: William B. Travis has been my second home since freshman year. The administration, faculty, and students make the school such a welcoming and inclusive place and I wouldn't change the experience I've had for anything. Travis is one of the most diverse high schools in the nation. The cultures and traditions that each student brings make our school more accepting and understanding of others. Travis' competitive learning environment pushes each and every student to work hard and achieve their goals, while all of the extracurricular activities allow for individuals to find their niche in the community. Every year, when we receive incoming freshmen, it can sometimes be difficult for them to latch on to the idea of having a relentless school spirit. Although we currently have programs running to encourage spirit within our tiger family, it would be amazing to continue instituting more clubs and programs to influence energy and passion among the new batch of young students.

    Senior: My high school experience keeps me busy. I'm pretty much involved or associated several sports and organizations within the school itself. I learned to live and grow through integrity and leadership in JROTC, Yearbook, and Color Guard. Each year, the school changes and evolve into even better than before through band, JROTC, academic decathlon, and many more! Mansfield Summit High School is known for its diversity compared to other MISD schools in the district. Summit is increasingly becoming more popular and expanding its numbers.

    #10 Most Diverse Public High Schools in Texas

    Senior: The biggest boon it has is its huge diversity; there's no shortage of people to meet, introduce yourself to, or be forced to confront and compromise with. Like with all schools, it has its good and bad teachers, but the large majority of teachers I've experienced in my four years of attending DHS have all been pretty darn good; those that stand out include the AP O-Chem teacher, the AP Chemistry teacher, my Geometry pre-AP teacher, the choir director, etc. Both fine arts and sports play a huge part in the local school culture, and there's no shortage of clubs to get involved in. I somehow was able to make myself a friend group here, even with my introverted personality.
    It never hurts to be the first high school in the district!

    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.

    #12 Most Diverse Public High Schools in Texas

    Junior: I like that Berkner High School has a safe and loving environment. The teachers and staff are really amazing, and great people to talk to. But, something that needs to be fixed here is the lack of resources that the school uses- or the wrong ones. If we are able to use something that the district provides, why not take advantage. Some things I understand why the use of a specific resource is not important to education, but sometimes teacher might be "against" a website given my the district but reviewing not given use a chance to use. Or even without reviewing, gain nothing out of the lesson.

    Senior: I loved the diversity offered in my school. I had been to many other public schools but never had I been in an environment surrounded by people from so many different ethnic and cultural backgrounds. All the teachers show exceptional interest in the academical success of the students and go the extra mile to make sure their students are not only performing to standard, but learning. The development and involvement provided to the students in STEM careers is excellent as well. The counselors have show cased amazing interest and care towards all the students and do their job flawlessly.

    #14 Most Diverse Public High Schools in Texas

    Alum: I think richardson high school does an amazing job providing an outlet for the arts through their magnet programs. All of the programs give students opportunities they could have never had and accelerate students ahead in their career fields. These programs are very impressive especially for public school where all of these classes are free. The AP courses (offered at every grade level) are also a helpful tool when it comes to preparing for college and career goals. AP classes also provide a more serious learning environment and strive to keep students involved and engaged in the material that may find regular classes easy. Some things that could change really are issues every school experiences, lack of motivation in regular classes as apposed to AP, some teachers not attempting to teach outside the box and really reach out to their students and just small things like that but over all Richardson High School provides amazing classes and opportunities to their students!

The teachers and administration truly care for the students and their success and make sure they get a great education while having fun and staying safe. Academics and college readiness at Dawson High School is their first priority and I will not lie, the classes are really hard, but they are excellent at preparing the students for AP tests and college readiness. Along with amazing academics, Glenda Dawson High School also has an amazing athletics programs with a wide variety of sports for students to participate in and they excel in their division. Also, the diversity at this school is amazing! There is not one race or ethnicity that overtakes the entire school, it is statistically shown that Dawson does not have an overbearing race, all the races are almost equal. Overall, Dawson High School is an amazing school and I would not choose to go anywhere else!

    Senior: The most precious thing that I want to take with me after graduation is our school’s slogan of “AHH CC! WHAT!”, follows after that is the band students playing their instruments. I love the feelings of energetic and excitement the slogan and the band has given me for the last four years. Those would be the only things I want to stay after four years of studying hard. The second thing I love about my school is the janitors. I love how they always work hard before and after school to keep the environment clean and help the students stay away from the germs. I also love their friendly smile whenever I see them, making me want to keep our environment clean and preventing littering. Thank you Cy Creek :)).

    Alum: Clear Brook High School was an experience. Academically, it was great! The diversity was phenomenal! The school had many different personalities and character. Although sometimes throughout the year for the past four years that I attended the school, there were incidents. Like for example, there were lots of fights, or threats. My safety felt a bit questionable. Although, there were some good times like for example, homecoming! Homecoming is amazing especially the seniors because of the pots and pans. It's something you look forward to since being a freshman! Some teachers were either resourceful or didn't really know how to teach. But throughout my experience, the school was good.

One of my favorite memories at hebron was being a cheerleader all 4 years of high school. I was recognized when i had my uniform on and it gave people a reason to talk to me more.

    Alum: I love the diversity and the teachers at Cy-Falls. The teachers and faculty always encouraged you to give up, and wanted to actually see you succeed. At Falls, you could connect with people from various backgrounds and ethicites while doing a variety of clubs there that you could enjoy. Sports at Cy-Falls, was heavily enthused about, especially when you notable success brings honor to the school. Achieving high academic success, was also valued along with any other extracurricular. The parent involvement was high as the school's constant vocalization of unity and positivity, which is pretty darn high. Falls is a great school with a history of high achieving students and inspirational teachers and faculty. Led by a school-spirted principal and a awesome administrative team under her wing. It has its bumps just like any other high school but overall, Cy-Falls is a great place to be!

    Alum: PSHS honestly was a great experience for me because it slightly introduced me to what life will be in college. With a huge open campus, new driving privileges, and the ability to delegate your school schedule, it was a refreshing experience versus what I went through the past 10 years in grade school. MOST teachers were enjoyable and did a fantastic job teaching, however there were some who made going to school a drag. The food on campus wasn't that good, so most of us went off campus for lunch which was always a great time. Lots of opportunities in education, pinnacle school spirit, and a great band!

    #25 Most Diverse Public High Schools in Texas

    Senior: Harmony's a good school. Despite it's shortcomings as a charter school, it does try to listen to the student body and offers many compromises at times. As a senior, while I do have my own personal gripes with the cafeteria food as well as frustration towards the fact that we are constantly promised better meals only to be further disappointed by mediocre meals. The school IS slowly changing for the better however, going as far as to even incorporate vending machines to the school this year. Admittedly however, the vending machines only serve healthy snacks BUT, it is an improvement, and as long as they're improving then that's as much as we can ask for.

    Parent: I have two children here, one very different from the other. One 100% wanted to attend EWS, and the other started one year ago reluctantly. I can say without reservation, both of my kids are thriving here. Learning in ways that are unique and speak to their individual needs. Full transparency, I work at the school (and it is a great place to work) but I have never written a review until now. Seeing my two kids both excited to come to school this morning, prompted me to let others know. EWS is a great place to be!
