Cinco Ranch High School

I guess i must disagree with the 2009 graduate. I am a 2003 graduate from cinco ranch and graduate from medical school next month. I have friends with juris doctorates, masters in finance, masters in accounting, masters in atmospheric sciences, ph. D in neurobiology, masters in computer science, doctorate of dental surgery, and two others with MDs as well. And that is just from my tight group of friends in the class of 2003. Cinco is as good a high school as there is in the country and is not geared towards preparing students for any particular field at all.

I really have to disagree with the 2007 graduate. I am a 2009 alumni and am currently in a private liberal arts college. Although yes, Cinco may be adequate in preparing for work at the state colleges listed, I found that it did not prepare me for a more rigorous curriculum at a more selective college (I graduated in the top 5%, so I know the blame isn t mine). In addition, Cinco tends to focus heavily on math and science and ignore the humanities and social sciences. This may be good for producing potential engineer candidates, but not so much for anything else (pre-law, pre-med, etc.). Finally, you will love Cinco only if you love bureaucracies. When trying to visit colleges after having been accepted, I found it difficult to to do so due to an attendance rule that would require me to go to KISD court if I missed more than four days.

I am a 2007 graduate and will graduate college in May. Looking back on it Cinco Ranch prepared you well. Really, really well. You can't fool around at this school, they are though. In the end it is only to help shape us for college. I had many friends that I made my freshman year who were struggling their first year. They had come from small towns (and there is nothing wrong with that) and the school didn't really prepare them for the challenge. This is an EXCELLENT school to send your child, I would have to rank it in the top "3" in the state with Seven Lakes being right behind it ';). I also have friend who went to other major universities UT, Baylor, Texas Tech, TCU, and they all feel the same way. Cinco Ranch is a top notch public high school. TAMU c/o 2011 Gig 'Em!

I'm a parent and an educator. CRHS is on the out-dated traditional schedule as opposed to the block (or AB schedule.) Teachers are so rushed. A lot of introducing material without time to check for content mastery. Parents are responsible for tutoring, reteaching, etc. TAKS prep. is over the top. Not enough for CRHS to pass TAKS - they want highest scores so they can take that to oil/gas industry with bragging rights. That way they get more students/more funding.

Cinco Ranch is well known across the state for being a tough academic school. Few programs rival Cinco Ranch with Athletics, Academics and Fine Arts. It is located in a high class neighborhood and kids all over the district seem to know that. If you want to have a half way decent GPA you will have to work extremely hard but the school does a fantastic job of preparing the students for college. Cinco Ranch is a spectacular school and easily tops off the other schools in the district.

I am a student at Cinco Ranch and couldn't be happier. The atmosphere at the school is fantastic. Classes are extremely challenging but all of the teachers are willing to make sure that you succeed by giving all the help needed.

My daughter is in her second year at this school and I could not be happier. The staff is friendly and helpful, the kids are wonderful, the academics are superior, and the activities/classes available for the students leaves nothing to be desired.

Cinco Ranch High School is an amazing public school with opportunities for the kids to develop any kind of interest while having a very good education in a respectful and safe enviroment. Having this kind of schools around, a private school is a waste of money.

As a graduate and current college freshman, Cinco prepared me so well for the demands of attaining a college education at a large, public university. I am on a full scholarship at Alabama and will have a 4.0 this semester and have breezed through school while many of my classmates struggle, not because I am smarter, but because Cinco taught me how to study. The school extends beyond just academics though and has booming fine arts and athletic departments as well; whatever you have a passion for, you will be able to find students and faculty who share that passion. My high school experience here was fantastic and I would not have wanted to have gone anywhere else
