Cedar Ridge High School

Cedar Ridge High School sits in the fast-growing northeastern corner of Round Rock, a city that's become one of the most popular landing spots for families relocating to the Austin metro. The school holds its own academically, with particular strength in Science, and tends to appeal to families who want a large, well-resourced suburban high school with plenty of extracurricular options without the intense academic pressure of some nearby campuses. Round Rock itself strikes a nice balance — close enough to Austin for all the perks, but still a community with its own identity, affordable neighborhoods, and room to breathe.
