Summary

Cedar Park High School is a large, high-performing public high school in Cedar Park, TX, serving 2,155 students in grades 9-12 as part of the highly-rated Leander Independent School District (Isd). The school boasts a strong track record of academic excellence, with outstanding graduation rates consistently above 96% and a near-zero dropout rate, though its recent state ranking has seen a slight decline from its peak in the 2021-2022 school year.

One of the school's standout strengths is its exceptional performance in English Language Arts (ELA), where proficiency rates in English I and English II (76% and 81%) significantly exceed state averages and outperform nearby schools like Leander High School and McNeil High School. However, the school presents a notable paradox with Algebra I, where only 48% of students are proficient—below the state average and the lowest among major comprehensive high schools in the district, including Vandegrift High School and Vista Ridge High School. This weakness in foundational math is a key area of concern, especially as it contrasts with the school's strong performance in higher-level subjects like Biology.

While Cedar Park is a strong school, it operates in a highly competitive neighborhood, surrounded by top-tier schools like Westwood High School and Vandegrift High School, which consistently rank in the top 10% of the state and outperform Cedar Park in nearly every subject. Additionally, the school's performance with its Gifted and Talented (GT) students is surprisingly low, ranking in the 50th percentile, and its performance with low socio-economic status students has seen a dramatic decline. These factors suggest that while the school excels at graduating students, it may need to focus on ensuring academic mastery for all student groups, particularly in math and for its highest-achieving learners.

Open Quote I'm a freshman at CPHS and I love it here! Everyone here is fun and also kind. Also if you or your child is interested in moving to Cedar Park I highly suggest CPHS because all of the programs are amazing in their own right! This is especially true for the fine arts! I'm in band and I enjoy myself everyday in all of my classes but I have made so many friends by going here and participating in the fine arts have helped with my grades too! Close Quote
