Cypress Mill October 2018

The 2018 list evaluates schools that have proven the most effective in
producing college-ready graduates, based on a four-step process:
Determining whether a school’s students were performing better than
statistically expected for students in that state; Assessing whether their
historically underserved students (African American, Hispanic and lowincome)
performed at or better than the state average for historically
underserved students; Meeting or surpassing a benchmark for a school’s
graduation rate (80 percent or greater) and Assessing college-readiness
performance using Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate
test data as the benchmark for success.
The fourth step measured which schools produced the best college-level
achievement for the highest percentages of their students, which was
completed by computing a College Readiness Index. The maximum CRI
value is 100. To be ranked nationally, a high school had to pass the first
three steps and have a CRI value at or above 21.51 (the midpoint of all
CRI values).
Of the 5,948 highest-scoring schools, the top 500 were awarded gold
medals. Schools ranked No. 501 to No. 2,711 were awarded silver medals,
while the remaining 3,237 ranked schools were awarded bronze medals.
Cypress Woods was ranked at 1,297 in the nation and 149 in Texas with a
97-percent graduation rate and 40.2 CRI value.
Cypress Ranch was ranked 1,678 in the nation and 173 in Texas with a
98-percent graduation rate and 34.3 CRI value.
Langham Creek was ranked 2,198 in the nation and 194 in Texas with a
92-percent graduation rate and 27.4 CRI value.
Cypress Ridge was ranked 2,670 in the nation and 224 in Texas with a
94-percent graduation rate and 22.0 CRI value.
