The district has even received high scores on a national level. In 2012, US News & World recognized four CFISD schools nationally. The publication partnered with American Institutes for Research (AIR) to evaluate 22,000 public high schools in 49 states. The schools received gold, silver, or bronze metals based on state proficiency standards and college preparation.
The following three steps were used to determine the best high schools:
- Whether students performed better than statistically expected for average students in the state;
- Whether least-advantaged students performed better than average for similar students in the state;
- Which school had students with the highest percentage of college-level achievements
