Overview
Ranchview High School is a part of CFBISD, although it is located in
Valley Ranch within the city limits of Irving. The campus has a site located between Valley Ranch Parkway South, Valley Ranch Parkway East and Ranchview Drive. Ranchview started with 8th and 9th
grades only when it opened in 2002. High schools in CFB-ISD do not traditionally include 8th grade, so the following year the 8th grade class became the freshman class, and 8th grade classes were moved back to Barbara Bush Middle School. The school continued its second year with 9th and 10th grades, and added a grade each year thereafter until reaching full high school status (9–12th grades) in the 2005-2006 school year.
