Cinco Ranch High School has the honor of being nominated for the national no child left behind blue ribbon schools program. This honor is given to schools throughout the nation that demonstrate academic superiority or have consistent improvement in student achievement.

To get nominated for this prestigious honor a school must have at least forty percent of its disadvantaged students show dramatic improvement on state tests over a three year period in math, reading, or English....or the student body must must perform in the top ten percent of test scores in math, reading, or English.

These schools must not be shown to be persistently dangerous and must show good yearly progress to be considered for the blue ribbon. Cinco Ranch educators will find out later this year if the high school has been selected as a Blue Ribbon school.
