GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Overall, my experience at this school was pretty good !! I feel that I met a lot of memorable teachers here, as well as memorable people. The staff here is great, aside from some of the administrators. I feel the teachers here care and are passionate about what they teach. I rarely had dull days at this high school, and I wouldn't hesitate to go through it again.

I had a great experience. The dance and choir program are fun and helps you get involved in school. The dance company was a learning experience.

Dr Jimenez has developed a team of admin and professors that care about their scholars (these are the school-wide terms used) and do whatever they can to help. Our experience with two boys going through Smith has i...

The lack of involvement from the principal and the the inappropriate behavior of the vice principal Elliot has been terrible. I have always found CFBISD schools the perfect environment for my four children until this year. We have two children that graduated from Ranchview high school and we had a g...
