My older son graduated from Cinco and my youngest son currently goes to Seven Lakes. Both are great schools to get an education. The big difference is Cinco is more established and Seven Lakes is "up and coming". This is the first year that Seven Lakes will have a graduation class. We noticed a more established tradition at Cinco in the band program vs Seven Lakes which is constantly growing. Seven Lakes made the State Marching Band contest this year which was a big accomplishment. The Friday night football games at Cinco included many more wins as Seven Lakes won their very first varsity football game this year. My older son seemed to enjoy Cinco and it did prepare him well for college as he is doing very good at his university. My youngest son also enjoys Seven Lakes and his high school experience. If I were just moving to the area either school is fine. One advantage Seven Lakes might have is that their are many new students to the area because of the incredible growth in the area. Other kids moving to the area would have that in common. I could of said the same thing about Cinco Ranch only a few years ago.
