Summary

George Ranch High School in Richmond, TX, is a large, high-performing public high school serving 2,337 students in grades 9-12 within the Lamar Consolidated Independent School District. This school consistently ranks in the top 10-15% of Texas high schools, boasting a 96.3% graduation rate and a very low dropout rate of 0.5%.

George Ranch stands out as the top traditional high school in its district, ranking in the 87th percentile statewide—far ahead of nearby schools like Dr. Thomas E. Randle High School (58th percentile) and Lamar Cons High School (45th percentile). Its students consistently outperform district and state averages on STAAR exams, especially in Biology, English, and U.S. History, where proficiency rates are often 10-20 points higher. However, the school shows a notable weakness in Algebra I, with proficiency rates below the district average—a potential area for parents to investigate. Interestingly, while George Ranch is a star in its district, the absolute top performer in the region is Clements High School (95th percentile), located just 5 miles away in the Fort Bend Independent School District (Isd).

The school achieves strong results with lower per-student spending ($8,459) and a higher student-to-teacher ratio (20.6:1) compared to its district peers, suggesting efficient resource use. While George Ranch has maintained excellent performance for years, there has been a slight recent dip from the 94th percentile in 2021-2022 to the 87th percentile in 2025-2026, particularly affecting White and Special Education students. Overall, this is a highly effective school that provides a strong academic foundation, though families should be aware of the Algebra I trend and the competitive landscape with nearby top-tier options.
