1 Most Diverse Public High Schools in Texas
Parent: Trinity is built like a Junior college. The open concept campus can appear intimidating at first but honestly is well thought out.

Trinity is rich in both tradition in heritage. It is an extremely multicultural and economically diverse school. Approximately 49% of the students who attend Trinity come from economically disadvantaged households or are homeless. Despite the financial hardships, campus diversity, somehow it seems to work out well with the wonderful leadership of the teachers, staff and pride that they have instilled in their students and in blending of the cultures, preparing these youth to have college readiness and/or vocational training after graduation. The students are warriors both on and off the field, in the classroom as well as giving back to the community. Most of the students have shown themselves to be wonderful role models to the younger generation of HEB students. Go Trinity! So proud my kiddos attend this school. :)

2 Most Diverse Public High Schools in Texas
Senior: Everything is exactly as expected. You go through the proper classes to get you your associates degree. There are some times that the advisors don't put you in a proper class which makes everything harder and a waste of time of a semester. Some professors on the other hand do not know how to teach, and it makes me wonder how they even got a spot in the college. There as well are time when the administration can be rude, but it's fine because you can tell that they are as tired as you are. Another bad thing is that there is no food! No lunch time! They do give you breaks, but sometimes it isn't enough to eat.

3 Most Diverse Public High Schools in Texas
Senior: I absolutely love the experience given to me at Plano East Senior High. Especially being an african american female student at the school, I feel like I belong and very welcomed. The staff could not be any better, and the students create an environment where people feel as if they can be themselves. Yes, we have our ups and downs, our good days and bad days, but no matter what, the student body rises through the obstacle together as a whole. Despite race, religion, culture, etc., everyone knows what is right and we can without abandoning our morals, or beliefs, we overcome challenges as one student body, maintaining our dignity and character. You know what they say...winning with class!

Bellaire High School

4 Most Diverse Public High Schools in Texas
Junior: ‪The academics are hard if you take APs, but the majority of teachers in the non advanced courses are bad, except for in some of the harder math classes w/ a lot of preAP/AP drop downs. School is segregated subconsciously due to AP classes being predominantly white and Asian, while the academic level courses are predominantly Hispanic and black. A good school if you're smart and self motivated. Not the best if you're stupid. If you're looking for stuff that doesn't really matter like a good sports team, go to the suburbs. Overall Bellaire succeeds where it matters the most, academics in AP classes. If you can't handle advanced classes, I'd suggest getting zoned to a school in the suburbs where the advanced classes are most likely worse, but you can actually learn something in the lower level classes. Bellaire is a great school if your smart and can keep up in advanced classes, not so great if you're stupid/a slower learner.‬

5 Most Diverse Public High Schools in Texas
Senior: Fossil Ridge is unlike any school I have ever attended. I moved there this year my senior year and was nervous, because I had attended a bigger high school and the people were nice to one another. However, Fossil Ridge was very different, of course you had the kids that like to spread gossip and tease others, but that is to be expected. What made this school stand out was how diverse it was. Everyone came from different backgrounds, they treated each other like family which made moving to this school not as scary as it could have been.

6 Most Diverse Public High Schools in Texas
High School Freshman: Our academics are really good especially for the variety of classes you can take l, and I would say people in this school actually try to get a good grade. Popular classes for me would be having honors classes or ap classes so your GPA will go straight up. And sometimes they give you to much homework to handle and the next day if you didn't finish it you have so many concequences.

Senior: Harmony School of Advancement is culturally very diverse, there are so many students from different backgrounds that you get to experience aspects of culture and communication that is not offered at most schools. There are many teachers that love what they do and they push for other students who love learning to go beyond their perceived limits. The school is slowly starting to open up to fields beyond STEM subjects, and by beginning to cultivate the art and sports fields, Harmony School of Advancement is on its way to becoming a well-developed and well rounded high school.

Senior: In a word Kempner, is a unique school. Kempner as just an awesome school. This school is absolutely amazing! It really brings out my potential. I have so much fun in class that when I get home, the first thing that I want to do is my homework. The things I learn in math, English, and physics really fascinate me, and it gives me a good idea on how just learning is supposed to be.

10 Most Diverse Public High Schools in Texas
Senior: This school is wonderful in terms of diversity, culture, school activities, and in terms of involvement. A administration and staff are helpful and contribute to the great experience and seem to care for your future success. Overall, it's a wonderful experience and creates an engaging environment for individuals to find what they're passionate of and also allows academics to mingle with extracurricular to create a balanced but accumulative experience. Although, the lunches and facilities may need some further improvements in terms of available space and quality of food. Also, due to the growing population of the school, academic competitiveness has intensified making it more difficult for students to improve in terms of ranking and GPA wise. However, these drawbacks shouldn't be limiting factors for students wanting a wonderful and acceptive environment to engage in academic studies as well as enjoying activities they love with others who share that same passion.

12 Most Diverse Public High Schools in Texas
Alum: I loved the diversity of the school. That was probably the main reason why I chose to attend there. Another big reason was the number of AP classes offered. I took almost every single AP class Tascosa has and in college, I am classified as a junior by the time I reach the second semester of my freshman year due to the amount of credit hours that I have (and being classified as an upper classmen in college has its perks). I wish that the administration could be more thoughtful and responsive to the student body and I also wish that we had more school spirit than when I was there.

Senior: I've been in CFBISD since I was in kindergarten and now as a graduating senior I have come to really appreciate the school district. Ranchview has allowed me to take college level classes and get the preview of what college will be like with the IB Program. This school has a great student population of diversity and everyone is very tolerable/polite to each other. I would recommend this school to anyone out there, the best high school by far in CFBISD!

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.

I also met a wide variety of people which helped me with my social skills. Extracurricular activities were amazing! Sometimes I didn't feel all that safe and there were some "bad seed" students in the school but I never had any issues.

Senior: The past four years I spent at Cypress Falls were overall amazing. Every student goes through hard and good times when they are in high school. But at Cy-Falls there was always some one there to help or be apart of it. The environmental of the school is something that I was always looking forward to every morning! From the academics to the student clubs to the sports we are family. Cy-Falls always had that special connection with the community around them. When ever they were in need we gave back. They treated us the same way back. That made it even more special to be apart of the student body in the school. The teachers and staff at the school make it funny and exciting some how for students to be comfortable. Our principal always considers us family which is why we say, " WE ARE ONE! ".

I wouldn't choose any other high school at Arlington to attend. Go Vols!

Niche User: Sometimes if i could go back in time I would. I was in shock the day i graduated, and honestly very thankful I had the opportunity to go to such a diverse and welcoming school. I absolutely loved 90% of the teachers I got to be in class with. Outside of the typical teenage things we go through in high school everything was a pretty good experience. I've learned a lot by the experiences I encountered here (the good, the bad, and the ugly). I was an athletic trainer, and I can definitely say that i had unconditional love for my team and my coach. Senior year was definitely my favorite out of the four years, thats the year i grew the most as a person. I WISH that i had been more involved with extra curricular activities than I was. If i could give advice to any new students: Stay on top of your grades! Be friends with your teachers. Be involved in as many extra curricular activities that you're interested in, you'll meet so many new friends. Go to football games. Pack your own lunch! Except for chick-fil-a days. Stay out of the wrong crowds, people will judge you anyway. You'll find the RIGHT friends for you as long as you stay true to yourself. Last but not least.. "On time is the right time at Dulles High."

20 Most Diverse Public High Schools in Texas
Senior: Lamar High School has been a roller coaster for me! Being the only HISD, school still wearing uniform and not having early dismissal gets me heated. Administration can also be a bit tricky. An incident can be so minor, but you'd still have to take major disciplinary actions for what you have done. As far as grades and education goes, I give everything a thumbs up! Lamar has many resources to help students get the help they need that they aren't getting at home and in the classrooms. Tutorials are provided everyday from the crack of dawn to late at night. The teachers here are so supportive in every way but also are stern on us because they know we have potential in to becoming a great A student. My overall experience at Lamar High School has had its ups and downs, but I have enjoyed every bit of it.

Senior: I have great memories during my time at Ellison. I've been in multiple clubs as well as the soccer team. I enjoy the different opportunities the school has to offer in order to "get connected". I enjoy spending time with my friends through these activities and participating in almost everything the school offers. The only thing I would change about Ellison is having more school spirit weeks. School spirit weeks aren't as common as I'd like. These weeks usually only occur for homecoming and the occasional Holliday. I wish there was more of these spirit weeks in order to show our pride and have fun with friends while doing so! Overall, my high school experience has been great and I'll look back on these memories I've made with a smile.

Senior: Lawrence E. Elkins is a greatly diverse learning environment, seeing that it is a part of the most diverse school district in the nation. The teachers and staff are great. The new administration this year have done a great job of bringing some needed authority to the campus. There are plenty of clubs, sports, and other successful organizations to join. Our sports teams and honor societies are widely known for their accomplishments and initiative. Not to mention, the engineering academy at Elkins is reinvented for their students' success in college. The AP and college now programs are wonderful and truly help prepare us to be successful in college and future work, as well as allow us to get a head start in college, debt free. Overall, the only change that could make Lawrence E Elkins High School a better learning environment is expanding the space or creating new classrooms to minimize student to teacher ratio.

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!
