  1. Trinity High School

    • Hurst-Euless-Bedford Independent School District, TX

    • 587
    1 Most Diverse Public High Schools 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.

    Freshman: This facility is a tight knit and staff treats each other and students with care and respect. This school also has an accredited music program! The student life does a great job on at campus events. Also, this is a multicultural school and outside in the schoolyard there are these poles that signify all the new different languages that students who have attended the college have spoken. This is a very supportive environment for all walks of life.
    The cafeteria has microwaves, vending machine, and on campus vendors such as Subway and Starbucks.

    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.

    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!

    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.

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!

    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!

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.

The STEM program has a good robotics course, and recently added aerospace and biotech as potential tracks. I would highly recommend it if you can get in!

    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.

    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!

    Senior: Glenda Dawson High School overall is a great school to attend. 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: I have never loved a school as much as I love Cy-Creek. The teachers here are great and I never once felt like they didn't care about the subject they were teaching or about me. The people at Cy-Creek are very diverse and cannot be categorized into one clique. The food is subpar but all school food is. There's lots of extracurricular activities for people to join and lots of events going on throughout the year. Though our sports teams aren't that great, especially the boys, the school spirit at the games and rallies make up for it. I'm proud to go to this school and will happily brag about it to anyone that listens. Also shoutout to the best teacher at Cy-Creek, Mr. Miller for WHAP and AP Euro!

    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.

    • Lewisville Independent School District, TX

    18 Most Diverse Public High Schools in Texas

    Senior: I have been at Hebron for all of my years of high school. Moving from a different state just days before freshman year was definitely an adjustment because the school is very large. My graduating class has just over 860 students. I love how there is a campus dedicated specifically freshman and it is new and very nice! Hebron's Pre-AP/AP department has prepared me for college very well. The drop policy for these classes needs to be changed though because if you aren't a freshman you can only drop Pre-AP and AP classes at the end of the nine weeks if you are failing or near failing and that's when the grade is permanently on your transcript and affects GPA/ class rank. This is not good especially given that class rank is SO competitive at such a large school. Hebron's athletics are very big and definitely create a great culture at school. There are also tons of clubs to find a community.

    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!

    Junior: Overall it's a pretty good school. We have a great principal who genuinely cares about the students. We're pretty strong academically, with notably having seven academic distinctions the past year, but we do have some issues. With a school this large (three thousand students) it can be a little overwhelming and fights are bound to happen. And of course, there's the bat infestation that causes us to shelter in place. But, at Langham, it really feels like the teachers and staff cares about you. It's also very diverse!

They make presentations that show us the opportunities that we have and give us guides on how to achieve those goals that we want to accomplish. The students always get along and try their hardest to keep their grades up. We are proud of our school. Together we bring our school to greatness, victory and success. Wolf Pack Pride!

    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!

    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.

    Sophomore: The Village School is an amazing school with incredible staff and resources for any who choose to enroll! Most kids are from or have parents from an out-of-US country; it is definitely an open, diverse, and accepting school. Constantly new children enroll, so it's never a dull moment. The curriculum is ever-changing but is always beneficial to the students. The preparedness for out of school events and other activities should be slightly more organized than it is, but overall, this is an incredible school.
