Summary

Cedar Ridge High School is a large, comprehensive public high school in Round Rock, TX, serving 2,713 students in grades 9-12 as part of the highly-rated Round Rock Independent School District (Isd). While the school has a strong history as a 4-star institution, it has recently settled into a consistent 3-star rating, ranking in the 62-68th percentile of Texas high schools. This shift is largely driven by a significant and persistent challenge in Algebra I, where proficiency rates have lagged far behind both the district and state averages—for instance, only 35.4% of students were proficient in the most recent year, compared to 69.6% in the district. However, the school excels in other areas, particularly U.S. History, where it consistently outperforms the district and state, and it boasts exceptional graduation and dropout rates that exceed the district average.

When compared to nearby schools, Cedar Ridge presents a mixed picture. Its Algebra I proficiency is notably lower than Round Rock High School (59.0%) and Hendrickson High School (47.4%), but it still outperforms Stony Point High School (22.7%) and Pflugerville High School (25.1%) in this subject. Despite its academic struggles, Cedar Ridge’s graduation rate (97.2%) and low dropout rate (0.3%) are standout achievements, especially when contrasted with the nearby Success High School, an alternative campus with a 71.4% graduation rate and 12.7% dropout rate. This suggests Cedar Ridge is effectively retaining a broad range of students who might otherwise be sent to alternative programs.

An interesting finding is the school’s performance for different student groups. Cedar Ridge is highly effective for its White students (86th percentile) and Special Education students (72nd percentile), but it struggles significantly with Low Socio-Economic Status students (41st percentile) and English Language Learners (27th percentile), indicating an equity gap in academic support. The school’s overall ranking is buoyed by strong performance in Biology, English, and U.S. History, as well as its excellent graduation rate. If Algebra I scores were even at the state average, the school’s ranking would likely improve dramatically. This suggests a fundamental issue with math instruction or student placement that the school’s administration is likely addressing. Overall, Cedar Ridge is a school in transition, with clear strengths in history and student retention, but a critical need to improve foundational math skills.
