 Many of the best public schools in the Dallas Fort Worth area are located in the northwest Dallas suburbs featured on this web site. A key indicator of the excellent education opportunities that these schools provide is the high Texas Education Agency (TEA) accountability ratings they consistently earn.
For the 2006-2007 school year, the most recent TEA evaluation period, about 49 percent of the schools attended by students residing in these northwest Dallas suburbs were shown to be performing at an exemplary level. Recognized ratings were earned by about 31 percent of these schools, and about 20 percent received academically acceptable ratings.
By comparison, only 11 percent of other schools in the DFW metroplex earned exemplary ratings, 29 percent received recognized ratings, 49 percent were rated academically acceptable and 4 percent received academically unacceptable ratings. The remaining 7 percent were exempt from the rating process. As shown in the above chart, the performance of DFW metroplex schools other than those in the northwest Dallas suburbs was marginally better than that of Texas schools overall.
Performance profiles for each of these schools are available on this web site by clicking on the names of the school districts listed below. Performance evaluation information for each school, such as Texas Assessment of Academic Skills (TAKS) and SAT scores, class sizes and student teacher ratios, is provided in these profiles, as are the campus address and main phone number.
