Ranchview High School

"My kid just started here and so far so good. Was told it’s not as bad as some reviews online. So far so good"

"They just opened their new auditorium and dang it's nice!! As far as the school itself, I don't too much about the quality of education or anything like that but it seems like a good school"

"Something all parents should understand: if you put a slacker into school, you'll get a slacker out. I was apart of the first graduating class back in 2006. I originally attended a 5A school in Austin, tx for 3 years. For those who don't know 5A schools have a lot of kids. When I moved North and attended Ranchview for my senior year it was quite the culture shock. Smaller school (significantly smaller), changes in demographics of the overall student body, as well as the overall culture differences of DFW. The staff was helpful and kind, the students not so much. But instead of complaining about them I focused on my school work and graduated. I'm sure a lot has changed in the last 10 years, but the complaints about the student body doesn't accurately rate the school. When I attended there were kids who pretended to be 'hood' or thuggish, although I'm not sure why when we had the same college scouts visit our school as any other, the same educational opportunities, their poor presentation hurt only themselves. I was in track and know the athletic program had plenty of funding. If anything the school would have been nicer if it had stricter guidelines for students to follow. To put it simply if I could go back in time I wouldn't choose a different school, I would have just worked harder whilst attending Ranchview. Currently I'm a network technician with a very comfortable lifestyle at a great company, I'm constantly pursuing continued education. For the parents out there this is a great school, I can safely say most every Texas school is a great school (standardised testing aside). Remember: If you put a slacker in, you'll get a slacker out."

"Ranchview offers so much to develop students looking to go to college or be ready for the next steps.. Great teachers, great kids, caring administration, solid athletic program. Ranchview is part of the Carrollton ISD - ranked #7 top ISD in Texas! As a parent I see how Barbara Bush Middle School prepares students for the IB program and it continues at Ranchview . If you don't know much about it learn about the International Baccalaureate program. At Ranchview, you can either take IB courses to prepare for college or you can get an IB diploma if you want to commit to the whole program after your sophomore year. The Student athlete will love the coaching staff and the opportunity to excel in one of the most competitive athletic districts in the state of Texas. Football, track, basketball, volleyball, tennis, golf Ranchview has been gaining momentum in all sports at this new school. You compete with Celina, Argyle, Frisco Lone Star and other powers and the coaches are great and they care about the kids. The music program is incredible too, award winning orchestra and bands, to name a few of the excellent extracurricular activities that your kids can get involved in.
