The newest in the Alief Independent School District trio of mega-high schools, Taylor High School educates about 3,100 9th-12th graders. In Alief, the high school you attend is the luck of the draw since a computerized lottery makes that decision. Students can switch schools, though, if they have a relative currently attending or graduated from another high school.
Unlike Elsik and Hastings, Taylor doesn’t have a separate 9th-grade center. But like the other high schools, Taylor offers night school, Mandarin Chinese classes, and a robust career and technology education program, otherwise known as CTE.
Taylor students opting for CTE complete introductory campuses at the high school and take advanced classes at the Alief Center for Advanced Careers. Students can earn credit toward a college degree, an associate’s degree, or certification while gaining hands-on experience.
On the athletic front, Taylor offers plenty of sports for men and women, including basketball, cross-country, golf, swimming, and diving. Athletic training, cheerleading, dance, and drill teams are open to all students.
Academically, Taylor students lag behind their Texas peers in test scores and academic progress from where they were last year, but the school’s graduation rate is on track with other Texas schools. And the students who go on to college need significantly less remediation than their Texas counterparts.

Alief Taylor High school is a great school for those who want to experience high school culture. They're improving safety procedures and providing lots of assistance to seniors.
8/27/2024
Alief Taylor has a lot of diversity for sure we get to socialize and get along with many new people every day but sometimes when school starts it feels over populated due to the stair activity. Sometimes students can get "aggressive" and they can start fights randomly and sometimes teachers don't teach but there's other great teachers.

I like the environment there, the faculty members and the entire staff is very cooperative, considerate and helping!
