Cinco Ranch
High school is a name used in some parts of the world, and particularly in North America, to describe the last segment of compulsory secondary education. It is preceded by primary education. High school is also the name used to describe the institution in which the final stage of compulsory education takes place. In the United States, high schools generally consist of grades 9, 10, 11, and 12, although the inclusion of grade 9 varies by school district.
Cinco Ranch High School is a secondary school located in unincorporated Fort Bend County, Texas that serves grades 9 through 12 as part of the Katy Independent School District. The school was opened in 1999 and has steadily grown to over 3,000 students due to the rapid expansion of the Katy area and graduates approximately 800 students a year. With the highest per capita income of high schools in the Katy area, Cinco Ranch has been given the distinction of the rich school with the average family of a student earning 132,297 U.S. dollars per year.
In the initial years, the school played host to displaced students from other Katy ISD schools including 8th graders displaced by overcrowding at Beck Junior High School in the 1999 to 2000 school year. Other relocations include students from West Memorial Elementary that moved to Cinco Ranch after the elementary encountered mold related issues in 2002. The first several varsity teams were largely unsuccessful, but beginning in 2002, football began to assert itself, missing the playoffs by a game in 2002 and making the playoffs for the first time in 2004. The school competes at the varsity level in a great variety of sports, with a particularly well-known track-and-field program, which won state titles in 2004 and 2005.
The swimming has also become a strongpoint of school athletics. The girls have won districts every year since 2001, whilst the boys consistently achieve 2nd to Katy Taylor. On the regional level, the girls often second themselves to Kingwood and the boys usually attain third to fifth place. In the 2005-2006 school years, the newspaper County Line received the Silver Star award from the University Interscholastic League.
Cinco Ranch goal is increase academic achievement district-wide with a special emphasis on literacy and mathematics gains for each student.
