Summary

Celina High School in Celina, TX, is a 4-star rated school serving 1,322 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Celina Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out for its exceptionally high graduation rates—consistently above 96%—and very low dropout rates, often below 0.5%. This strong track record of keeping students on track to graduate is a key strength, especially when compared to nearby schools like Anna High School, which has a 94% graduation rate, and it matches the elite performance of Prosper High School in the Prosper Independent School District (Isd).

Academically, Celina High School excels in English Language Arts, with over 72% of students proficient in English I and II reading, significantly above the state average of about 55-60%, and competitive with top schools like McKinney North High School. However, the school has a notable weakness in Algebra I, where only about 36% of students are proficient—well below the state average of 54%—which is a persistent challenge that holds back its overall state ranking. In contrast, nearby Rock Hill High School and Walnut Grove High School in the Prosper ISD show more consistent high performance across all core subjects, including Biology and U.S. History, where Celina lags slightly behind.

While the school performs well overall, there are equity gaps in how it serves different student groups, with strong results for African American and Asian students but lower performance for Hispanic and English Language Learner students. The school also shows a dramatic swing in its Gifted and Talented program ranking, dropping from the 99th percentile to the 67th percentile in just one year, which may warrant a closer look. Overall, Celina High School is a stable, high-performing institution with a focus on literacy and student retention, but addressing its Algebra I struggles and improving support for all student groups could help it challenge the top-tier schools in the region.
