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.

2 Most Diverse Public High Schools in Texas
Senior: This program is a very great way to get started on college while you are in high school. The program is a dual credit program and high school students are in the same classes as actual college students. This provides high school students an early insight to college life and education. They high school also does not require tuition. That means that you get to take college classes that are transferable college credit for free. The high school also provides books and a lot of resources to prepare them for college. By going here for your junior and senior year, you can graduate with a high school diploma and an associates degree!

3 Most Diverse Public High Schools in Texas
Alum: Principle King was both lenient and stern. He took the time to get to know all 3,000 of his students, and his door is always open to staff. The sub-principals are kind, understanding, but straight to the point. The staff as a whole work as a cohesive team to maximize optimal performance, while crafting a welcome and fair educational environment for all it's diverse students. The teachers here seem to truly care about educating their young scholars. Teachers and staff go out of their way to build relationships with students and the environment here feels like family. The counselors at PESH will keep you on track and help you navigate the complexities of college. The two wonderful ladies who run the Communities in Schools program are always ready to help their students. They have built a strong reputation for themselves and provide youth with the ability to foster resilience. The school is the most diverse in the district, and the most open-minded.

4 Most Diverse Public High Schools in Texas
Alum: I attended Bellaire High School all four years and in retrospect would not have chosen a different school. There is a very profound culture of intellectualism among AP students, often leading to a high need to out-compete each other by getting better grades, yet peers are just about always ready to give a helping hand. Most of the AP courses offered here are very successful courses because more often than not most of the students within a class get 3 or above. The academics here really prepare a student to go to a university. The only downfall is that the school is overcrowded and parking absolutely sucks. But last thing I heard was that the school has a 5-year remodeling plan, so I'm looking forward to that! The school has unbelieveable amount of diversity! Probably one of the most diverse high-schools in the nation, so it's no wonder we offer roughly 13 languages here. Bellaire offers more than 100 clubs so there's no excuse to not get involved.

Alum: The offers good academics and many sports programs to participate in. The building stays clean, the modern equipment remains impressive, and the food given to children provides nutrition and energy. However, if one gets past the bad neighborhood surrounding it, and the crime, the school would present itself a wonderful option for children.

7 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!

8 Most Diverse Public High Schools in Texas
Senior: When it comes to our school we're all one big dysfunctional family. Our school is so small that everyone knows one another. Our graduating senior class is 125 students! There is a large sense of community in this school. As for resources, our school offers a lot of resources and amenities for STEM related fields, like our robotics room for example. However, for the students that have more creative and sports related interests not much is offered for them. Sadly, that is something that will not change because Harmony focuses more on STEM fields, they choose not to pay much mind to other subjects.

Alum: There is a reason Glenda Dawson High School is highly ranked with a graduation rate of 99%. The staff and student ratio is ideal for a great learning environment and the sense of school spirit is off the charts!

Unfortunately, gun violence is a up and coming issue but the safety measures and security that the school provides students allows everyone to focus solely on academics and preparing students for a successful future at the university level . Additionally, the clubs and sports activities that are offered are plentiful . From leadership opportunities to competing for state championship in football, Dawson really does do it all. As a Dawson Alumi, I can say with confidence the tools Dawson provides students with a path to success. "Some fly. We soar".

Senior: IB Teachers are exceptional and teach very well. Challenging classes are provided to the students and multiple extracurricular activities are avaliable. The infrastructure of the school is very simple to navigate and despite its small population, there is a big diversity of students, making it easy for people to socialize and introduce themselves to other cultures and ideas. The fine arts programs in this school is also very developed. The orchestra, which is the area in which I had much experience in, has many high achievers in both academics and musicality as well as other areas of school activities. Overall the school is a great place to challenge oneself with college-level classes while also earning college credit.

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.

Sophomore: I've had a very good experience at Travis so far. The staff genuinely cares about their students, and the other students are, for the most part, great to work with. Travis is also very diverse and all-inclusive to everybody. What I would like to see change is more recognition for sports other then football and basketball, such as track, swim, and golf. Other than that, Travis is a very good school and I'm proud to be a student here. Go tigers!

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!

Senior: I just came to Dulles High School one year ago, and this is the first school i study since i came to America. And i am so surprised with what Dulles has given to me. From teachers to friends, everything is awesome. Teachers are so friendly and helpful. They help me anytime i need. My English is not good, they know that and they always give me a hand whenever i have any difficulties such as in understanding the lessons or having a conversation with others. They respect me and always pay attention to what i say, i know, my pronunciation is not good, but they are willing to hear me. My friends are so nice also. They are so fun and friendly. I love all of them. On the other hand, the only problem i have in Dulles is the food. I think they should change the menu as much as possible. I know many other people would like them, but in my thinking, the food should be diversified. These are what i feel about Dulles High School. Anyways, i love Dulles. Go Vikings!

Junior: I've been at this school since I was in the fifth grade. A lot has changed since then, but the overall goal has stayed the same. To prepare students for college and make sure college courses are available. I appreciate how much this school appreciates its students by taking the time to make sure our education is the number one priority. I only wish for more classes. I see some big high schools having cooking classes, home economics classes, woodshop and more. I wish we had more access to these classes so we could learn more. Especially when it is needed in the future.

Senior: Mansfield Frontier High School is unique in itself because its such a small school consisting only of juniors and seniors. How you ask, well Frontier is a career based school therefore student have to apply to get accepted into the school. Also in order to graduate from Frontier students must complete an internship and a senior project; more so preparing students for college and also preparing them for their desired careers. I personally like Frontier because the class size is small so the teacher and student have more one - on - one time which is super beneficial. Also our advisory time is study hall so we can personally ask our teachers any questions. Although it was a shock coming from a graduating class of 400 plus students to a graduating class of 128 students. All and all it is an amazing school!

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!
