Summary

Allen High School is a public high school serving 5,273 students in grades 9-12 in Allen, Texas, which is part of the highly-ranked Allen Independent School District. The school has consistently maintained a strong academic reputation, ranking among the top 200 high schools in Texas and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade.

Allen High School boasts impressive metrics, including a 4-year graduation rate ranging from 96.4% to 97.3%, significantly higher than the state average, and an exceptionally low dropout rate of 0.3% to 0.6% in recent years. The school's performance on STAAR End-of-Course exams is generally strong, outperforming the district and state averages in most subject areas, such as 85.12% proficiency in U.S. History compared to 67.94% for the state. However, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with Native American and White students performing particularly well, while the results for African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students are more mixed.

When compared to nearby high schools in Frisco, McKinney, and Lovejoy, Allen High School generally performs well, with higher graduation rates, lower dropout rates, and stronger test scores in many subject areas. However, some of the Frisco and Lovejoy schools, such as Centennial High School and Lovejoy High School, outperform Allen High School in certain metrics, suggesting there may be opportunities for Allen to learn from its neighbors.
