I went to a middle school that wasn't originally only zoned for Guyer so 90% of my class went on to Guyer while the 10% and I went to Ryan. I wasn't sure how i felt about going here based off of rumors i had heard but after coming here i realized Ryan has been an amazing fit for me. I had a very hard time fitting in during middle school and i assumed it would be the same for high school but it was the exact opposite. Ryan is made up of people from every race, class and talent spectrum, making it very diverse. Unlike a majority of high schools, Ryan isn't your click based school, everyone knows everyone. Ryan is a family, not only in a school aspect but also in the community, offering activities and clubs for just about everything. I strongly recommend putting your child in at Ryan if they have a hard time fitting in or just need a fresh start because this school has been an incredible experience for someone who didn't know where they belonged.

I had two daughter go to Ryan and did not have any issues with the education they received. They were both athletes and they continue to excel in college. I would call Ryan "a real world school" with a strong tie to the community spirit of Denton. If you want "a fantasyland school" then you might want to travel a little further south. I worked for 5 years at a high school of upper class students (In Ryan's district now) and saw the typical ostrich head in the sand syndrome. If you prepare your children at home (as a parent should )then they will have no issues at Ryan .

Ryan High School is only good at one thing. Sports. If you aren't a member of sports, you really don't matter to the grand scheme of life there. I have friends that go there and say the same thing. Also, the teachers don't really care and they let their students do whatever in class. My friends constantly have their phones out in the open and eating food whenever they feel like it. The district rules specifically states that cellular devices or any electronics are not prohibited for use during the school day.
