dallas: Dallas ISD High School Ranked #1 in the Country - 04/23/16 10:03 AM
Lots of people like to rag on how bad Dallas ISD schols are.  However there are some great gems.
The best high school in Texas — and the country — is the School for the Talented and Gifted. The Dallas ISD magnet school continues its streak as the No. 1-ranked public school for the fifth straight year.
This is not a charter school....it is a public high school in the Dallas ISD system.
You can check out all the top ranked Texas schools here on the US News and World Report list.

dallas: School Rankings in Texas in 2012 - 07/18/12 11:17 AM
I know it is important to many to be in an area with great schools, but I have never liked the way many homebuyers and perhaps others are so focused on a one word description of the school ...like Exemplary or Great Schools ranks it a 10.   Most people have little or no idea what the rankings are based on and why one school might be recognized and another exemplary.  It may be issues that are of no importance to your child.  My suggestion is to visit the school in the area you want to live in.  See how your … (0 comments)

Dallas Fort Worth School Zoning Resources
School Zone SearchAs you search for a home in the DFW Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex area, you will often see disclaimers to check schools before you buy.  That is because we know schools are important to families around here, and being in the "right" school zone can mean significant price differences in a home's value.   Beware that just because you buy a house in a certain city, does not always mean you are in that city's main school district.
