of 2,009 Texas High Schools

Better than 93% of Texas high schools

Summary

Cinco Ranch High School in Katy, TX, is a large, high-performing public high school serving 3,740 students in grades 9-12 within the Katy Independent School District (Isd), consistently ranking in the top 8% of Texas high schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past decade.

This school stands out for its exceptional support of students with special needs, ranking in the 93rd percentile statewide—a clear differentiator from nearby top-tier schools. However, it operates in a highly competitive district where schools like Seven Lakes High School and Tompkins High School rank in the top 3-5% of the state, placing Cinco Ranch in a "second tier" of elite schools. While its test scores are strong—such as 89.1% proficiency in Biology—they are slightly lower than those of Seven Lakes (96.16%) and Tompkins (96.68%). An interesting paradox is that while the school excels with special education students, its Gifted and Talented program ranks lower, in the 79th percentile, suggesting a focus on lifting struggling students rather than pushing the highest achievers to the top.

Compared to Morton Ranch High School, just 4.5 miles away, the contrast is stark: Morton Ranch has a lower state rank (959th) and significantly lower test scores (e.g., 34.45% proficient in Algebra I vs. Cinco Ranch's 79.61%). Meanwhile, the nearby Harmony School Of Innovation - Katy charter school achieves a higher graduation rate (98.8% vs. 96.0%) despite serving a higher percentage of low-income students. Cinco Ranch boasts a stable 96% graduation rate and an exceptionally low dropout rate of 0.3%, reflecting a strong system for keeping students on track. Overall, it offers a high-quality, inclusive education with a notable strength in special education support.
