  1. Trinity High School

    • Hurst-Euless-Bedford Independent School District, TX
    • 10-12
    • 582
    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.

    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.

    Senior: I was told many times before attending this school that it would be difficult. Indeed it was. However, it was a challenge I choose to take to better myself. I not only stepped out of my comfort zone, but I learned more valuable skills here than I did at my previous highschool. It's a chance to get a head start on college and better prepare yourself for life after highschool. My ways of studying, procrastinating, writing, thinking, and doing have all changed for the good while attending this school. I would definitely recommend this rigorous program to anybody looking to get ahead!

    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!

    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!

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: 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!

    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.

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!

    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: 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.

    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!

    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.

    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 School of Innovation is an amazing and progressive school which fosters an enriching environment for students to challenge themselves and fulfill their potential. Although it focuses on STEM more than it encourages the students pursuing Liberal Arts, it provides opportunities, both academic and social, that allow students to extend themselves into the professional community and prove their dedication to their studies and their passions. The teachers are amazing and give their all to making sure that every one of their students is challenged, yet maintains an understanding of the material. And the the student body is far different from that which can be found at a standard public school; it's made up of some of the most driven students I've ever met.
