近年來，全校上下牢記“立足現實、心系未來，胸懷華夏、放眼全球”的辦學追求，按照“以人為本、科學管理、求真務實、質量第一”的指導思想，切實圍繞素質教育這一主線，牢牢把握改革創新這一關鍵，努力落實“給學生終身難忘的教育”等五大教育理念，激活了師生自主創新欲望，激發了全校文化創造活力，實現了學校的和諧跨越發展。五年來，27項國家級榮譽先后花落我校，僅2009年，學校就獲得“全國五一勞動獎狀”、“全國精神文明建設先進單位”、“全國未成年人思想道德建設先進單位”、“全國體育傳統項目學校”四項國家級榮譽。

近幾年，為了推進教師的專業化發展，學校在五大教育理念的引領下，積極加強教師隊伍的鍛煉和培養，有效提高了廣大教師的專業素養。幾年來，有80余位教師先后應邀到全國各地講學，200余位教師先后獲得國家、省、市級榮譽稱號。在高素質的教師隊伍的教育引領下，學生的綜合素質和創新能力不斷提升。自2005年至今，有300余名學生在國際機器人奧林匹克競賽、全國青少年科技創新大賽、中國智能機器人大賽等各級各類比賽中摘金奪銀。學校高考成績連續九年位居河北省第一。自2006年以來，學校高三學生連續三年勇摘河北省文理科高考狀元桂冠。近四年來，有172名學生升入清華大學、北京大學，8名學生考入中國科學技術大學少年班，5000余名學生升入全國重點大學。這些學生在大學里“責任意識強，學習成績好，綜合素質高，發展潛力大”，有的擔任院系學生干部，有的多次獲得各種榮譽稱號，而且有很多學生被世界著名大學錄取，目前，有一大批畢業生獲得了博士學位，并成為了各行各業的領軍人物，活躍在國內外社會經濟政治舞臺上。學校已成為中國各名牌大學的優秀生源基地。

學校始終堅持開放辦學的原則，努力開展多種形式的國際交流與合作，大力培養與國際接軌的高素質人才。近年來，學校先后選派100余名師生到國外考察培訓，先后邀請30多位畢業于劍橋、牛津等國際知名大學的外籍教師到校任教，并與英國羅杰·曼物茲學校，美國威廉·托門中學、查理·希爾中學建立了友好學校關系，實現了彼此之間的深入交流和合作。這一切，為培養具有中國心、世界眼、現代腦的創新人才奠定了堅實的基礎。

《中國教育報》、《中國教師報》、《人民教育》等20余家中國知名新聞媒體先后多次以大篇幅向全國詳細介紹學校辦學經驗，并引起了中國基礎教育界的廣泛關注。由此，中國30余個省、市、自治區的15萬余名教育界人士先后到學校考察參觀，人們紛紛贊譽衡水中學創造了一個“教育的神話”，“撐起了中國基礎教育的一片藍天”， “是全國基礎教育的一面旗幟”。
