How Important are The Colony Texas School Ratings ~ LISD TAKS Ranks

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams

All parents want to send their children to a good school and The Colony TX has good schools in the LISD.  Relocating home buyers ask me "how are The Colony Schools?" or how is a specific elementary school.  I start walking a tightrope.  The TAKS ratings of The Colony Schools is the only uniform measurement to compare schools so that's the best overall ranking of LISD schools.  So, yes TAKS ranking of The Colony Schools is very important simply because that it the only "apples to apple" comparison that is available. 

appleYou can go to websites like Greatschools.org who are the self proclaimed best independent source but reality is they pull info from the TAKS ratings  / tests.  Plus irate parents feel the need to vent there.  If there are 600 kids per year in an elementary school and greatschools gets 6 "unverified parent" comments per year, is it really a good source of knowledge? 1% from an "open forum".  I didn't think so. 

Here is my local guide to The Colony Texas Schools ~ LISD  in the Lewisville Independent School District. You will find TAKS information, links to all the school websites and more. Let me know how I can improve my webpages.

Mark Hitz, The Colony TX Realtor
