Similarly, a comparison of the northwest Dallas suburbs school districts with other metroplex districts leads to the same conclusion. As shown on this Best Dallas / Fort Worth school districts page, if only the schools that serve the northwest Dallas suburbs profiled on this site were considered, six northwest Dallas suburbs school districts would rank among the metroplex's top ten districts.
 Another indication of the excellent education opportunities that these schools provide is the high Texas Education Agency (TEA) accountability ratings they consistently earn. For the most recent TEA evaluation period, the 2008-2009 school year, about 71 percent of the schools attended by students residing in these northwest Dallas suburbs were shown to be performing at an exemplary level, the top rating awarded. Recognized ratings were earned by about 25 percent of these schools and about 4 percent received academically acceptable ratings.
By comparison, 31 percent of other schools in the DFW metroplex earned exemplary ratings, 34 percent received recognized ratings, 24 percent were rated academically acceptable and 3 percent received academically unacceptable ratings. The remaining 8 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.
