Summary

Cedar Hill High School is a large public high school in Cedar Hill, TX, serving approximately 1,974 students in grades 9-12 within the Cedar Hill Independent School District (Isd), a district that ranks in the 28th percentile statewide and serves a community where nearly 60% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The school faces significant academic challenges, with a state ranking that has dropped from the 39th percentile to the 13th percentile over the past several years. A critical concern is math proficiency: only 11.44% of students are proficient in Algebra I, which is less than half the district average and a fraction of the state average of 54%. This performance is dramatically lower than nearby Mansfield Lake Ridge High School, where 78% of students are proficient in Algebra I. The school also has a higher dropout rate (2.6%) and a lower graduation rate (88.3%) compared to peers like Duncanville High School, which has a 92.3% graduation rate and outperforms CHHS in nearly every subject area.

Strikingly, the district also operates Cedar Hill Collegiate High School, a magnet school just 1.68 miles away that ranks in the 95th percentile with a 100% graduation rate and proficiency rates often double or triple those of CHHS. This internal disparity highlights systemic issues at the comprehensive high school, where academic performance has been declining across nearly all student subgroups, including those identified as at-risk and low socio-economic status. Without targeted intervention, particularly in foundational math instruction, the school risks continuing its downward trajectory.

What people are saying

by a student
Tuesday, September 28, 2010

Yes, there are problems with this school. But, the teachers in the upper level classes are dedicated to teaching, and love their students. I went through every grade at Cedar Hill schools, and I am on Academic Scholarship to Baylor University. The diversity of the school has made me a better person, open to all people and I feel more ready for life than many other students that went to a school with the majority of students who are white because I can interact better with people of different cultures.
