  1. Trinity High School

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

    Senior: My experience in Trinity High School definitely helped me in numerous ways. For example, attending one of the most diverse high schools in the State of Texas was absolutely amazing. Learning about the different cultures that were represented in our entire student body was definitely an experience that I'm forever thankful for. My favorite part of everything was when we all came together as a student body to show our school spirits at sports games, pep rallies, or any other extracurricular activity despite our differences. It's almost like we all accept and put our differences to a side and celebrate being part of the same student body. Education wise, I was surrounded by teachers that truly cared for my learning experience and my education. Our success was important to the staff at Trinity. This school overall had an outstanding environment that helped me grow with character development that I will forveer be thankful for after graduating high school in a couple of months.

    #2 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!

    #3 Most Diverse Public High Schools in Texas

    Senior: Richland Collegiate High school has been such a great experience! Richland provides high school students college credit hours which helps minimize time and most importantly finances which is such a blessing. I love Richland and their program for high school students because it allows students to become independent and be in an environment that is similar to a university. They provide activities such as job fairs, health fairs, food trucks, and college activities for everyone. The campus is safe and has core values that include safety for the students and staff. In conclusion, the campus is diverse and is full of different activities, culture, and food and focuses on the success of the students. I would suggest Richland to anyone who is willing to make a sacrifice for a successful future!

  4. Bellaire High School

    • Houston Independent School District, TX
    • 9-12
    • 691 reviews
    #4 Most Diverse Public High Schools in Texas

    Senior: At Bellaire High School, you have the resources and support to learn about a multitude of things. If you aren't certain about what you want to do with your life, then Bellaire has the classes and clubs where you can find out what you like or don't like. You can really immerse yourself into any subject - chemistry maybe being the exception.
    The staff in Pre-AP and AP classes are very supportive of their students and love what they teach. In the regular and college-prep classes, you don't find such passion, but most are available to all students.
    Yes, the current school building is dusty and dirty, but at least you have the option to buy fast-food choices and tapioca at lunch. It can be hard to really take off in your clubs because you don't have a lot of funding, especially in the fine arts - go the Mighty Cardinal Band! -, but at least the school has not gotten rid of them.
    Overall, Bellaire is a good quality school with spirit and possibility. Good school for HISD.

    #5 Most Diverse Public High Schools in Texas

    Junior: I attended Kempner High school during my junior year. It is an awesome school with incredible teacher and AP classes. The only thing I would change about the school is the guidance department, which did not prepare me enough for college applications and left me to understand many of the process alone. I love the school spirit and diversity! Kempner High will forever be my dearest High school.

    Senior: The staff and teachers here are very cooperative and helpful! They are genuinely concerned about their students and their success. I have faced many problems, but the school helped me through a lot of hardship, allowing me to become more successful in my school life. The students here are varied far and wide- ethnically and goal-wise. From engineer aspirers to active athletes, all of them are supported by their teachers and coaches. I can confidently say that Berkner is a great learning environment for any student looking for success in their future.

  9. William B. Travis High School

    • Fort Bend Independent School District, TX
    • 9-12
    • 615 reviews
    #7 Most Diverse Public High Schools in Texas

    Senior: William B. Travis, one of the leading schools in Fortbend Independent School District. I've spent over three years at this school, and my experience here certainly doesn't lack variety. From the school lunch to the staff members, attending Travis has been an overall positive experience, and I'm glad to call myself a Travis tiger. As a freshman, I was automatically taken aback by the welcoming nature the student body has, and the multiple ways the staff attempted to make the freshman feel comfortable. Additionally, the plethora of clubs and extracurricular activities give one a sense of choice when deciding how to contribute more to the school, and this feeling is unmatched. The only gripe I would have about the school is that its age is really starting to show, and the only half of the school has been repainted. To conclude, Travis High School is an excellent school with an excellent education.

    #8 Most Diverse Public High Schools in Texas

    Senior: What I like most about Ranchview is how they always help whenever you need help. They make really fun activities like pep rally’s, student vs teacher game, etc. The counselors always try to do everything they can to help us with anything we need and plan for our education. 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!

    • 9-12
    • 645 reviews
    #9 Most Diverse Public High Schools in Texas

    Alum: What I liked about Cy-Creek was the music department. The fine arts I feel was great! What I'd like to see change is the way bullying is handled. I was or bullied myself but I know people who's lives were affected. I feel the counseling and bullying prevention could be better. I think the dress code should be equal. There were times where some girls were dress coded but others were not. It should be equal for boys as well. The teaching was okay and the curriculum was okay. I think that maybe they should do better choosing their teachers. other than these things, my 4 years there were great. I do regret some things but definitely wouldn't go back and change any of it. Its is a a part of life.

    #10 Most Diverse Public High Schools in Texas

    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.

    Senior: I've been attending Harmony Public Schools since August 2015. At that time, I was an 8th grader. Ever since that year, I have grown physically, mentally, and academically from going to Harmony Public Schools. The teachers are very helpful, the students are very diverse, and the environment makes me feel very safe. I love waking up to going to Harmony Public Schools to better my future!

    Junior: This school is very academic heavy, but we do have our fun with sports in our off time during school. The teachers are very efficient and you get used to the workload after you have created a good rhythm. You mustn't procrastinate though or else you will be extremely stressed out. It also prepares you for college in a way no other high school can!

    • 664 reviews
    #13 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!

    Senior: It’s a very diverse high school and one gets to learn more about other cultures. The teachers and coaches make an effort to get to know you and help one achieve their goals! The school spirit is amazing, And there’s always people at events to support friends and family. Going to langham has really opened up my eyes in the world because they teach you how to over come problems and how to work throw rough times.

    #15 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!

    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.

    • Houston Independent School District, TX
    • 9-12
    • 286 reviews
    #17 Most Diverse Public High Schools in Texas

    Sophomore: Carnegie used to not have many activities, but as the school grows, we are getting more. We have an awesome cross country team that swept at districts last year for girls, tennis, basketball, and volleyball (UIL). We also have rugby, soccer, and badminton. We are getting a competitive dance team and rumor has it a dance team. We have many other students who play tennis or do track or lacrosse outside of school. Not to mention we have the best theater program in Texas and offer every club imaginable. And if there isn't a club, start one! It looks great on a resume. The only thing lacking are after school programs or special classes and opportunities to take credits during the summer or at a community college. There's less flexibility than there is at bigger schools with a wider range of classes and we're missing a football team too. But does football really outweigh the myriad of amazing students and faculty and an opportunity to ACTUALLY learn SOMETHING at school?

    • Lewisville Independent School District, TX

    • 906 reviews
    #18 Most Diverse Public High Schools in Texas

    Senior: Overall, I love Hebron High School. Though it does have a few issues that I would like to see addressed, the school is very, very good. For starters, I find the vast majority of the staff to be friendly and helpful. The unique “block lunch” program allows me time in order to get some tutoring during school hours and after school hours. Finally, the facility has aged well, going into the school’s twentieth anniversary. However, there are a few problems that have arisen that I would like fixed. For starters, drug usage is rampant, and I feel unsafe in bathrooms as a result of this. Perhaps more frequent bathroom checks could be considered, rather than just locking off bathrooms at random. Additionally, the school can occasionally feel too competitive at times, with teachers constantly reminding students to come in for tutoring in order to maintain a good class rank. By fixing these problems, I am certain that Hebron High will be an even greater success!

Also the diversity of the students, which can help other students learn and understand more about other peoples cultures. Also how the school represents those cultures with pep rally's and events.

    #20 Most Diverse Public High Schools in Texas

    Senior: Harmony School of Innovation is excellent at providing their students with the resources they need to excel on standardized tests. Beyond excelling with standardized tests, most of the staff are amicable and even try to maintain the idea that everyone is family on campus. Where Harmony succeeds at providing students with useful tools to do well academic wise, they are lacking in other departments such as athletics and counselors that focus on behavior and mental health. High GPA's and SAT scores are great and all, but young adults also need to use this time to learn how to keep their bodies and minds healthy while receiving an education.

    Alum: Pflugerville High School was a great school and environment to be apart of! There is much diversity in the teachers, faculty, and students and there is no judgement by any adults. Anything a student needed, someone involved within the school would be there to help out. As long as students gave forth their best effort, the teachers and administrators were there to help and prep for anything academically, socially, or extra curricular wise. The only thing I would change about the school is the tradition, some of the tradition has been lost by moving all football games to the Pfield instead of keeping them at Kuempel stadium.

The school provided AP classes, which really helped me work on my study habits and prepare for college. It also provided different levels of classes so that each student didn't feel left out no matter what their intelligence level was. PESH is also a great campus and most teachers truly care about their students succeeding.

    Harmony School of Innovation - Sugar Land

    • 9-12
    • 85 reviews

    Senior: I have personally had a great experience in Harmony. It is a school that truly emphasizes in the STEM curriculum. One of the biggest benefits I have seen in school is the amount of counselors available per grade level , ultimately allowing you to get more face to face interaction with your counselors whom help you a lot. Especially during Senior Year. The population is also a whole lot more smaller than those of a public school which I think is quite incredible.I think that anyone who wants to strive and become a better student with hopes of becoming some form of an engineer or doctor , this is the right place to be. However if you hope to play processional soccer or get drafted for the NFL or NBA , this is probably not the place for you. Great school!
