Our local elementary school is located less than a mile from the new recreation center in Lakes of Bella Terra West! Not only is it in bike riding distance to new homes – but it’s also rated amongst the top schools in the region.
Texas-based Children at Risk, a nonprofit that has spent more than a decade ranking Texas schools, recently released is 2019 public school rankings. The organization’s evaluations take into account how well schools support economically disadvantaged students, annual test scores and year-over-year growth and, for high school evaluations, college and career readiness.
According to Children at Risk’s website, the annual rankings “aim to help parents, educators and community members understand how their schools are performing and spark dialogue on the quality of public education across Texas.”
