Frisco. Not sure what county. There are some good blogs on this topic though and you can see school rankings online.

Except for high schools .. imagine same pool of teachers trying to get to 11 high schools and counting .. middle school was awesome and high school in frisco my kid studied herself for most courses .. if one is ready for that I would say frisco

Coppell, Southlake, Frisco are all considered to have great public school K-12. There are others as well, but some are further out. Highland Park is fantastic if you have a few million to spend on a house

Rockwall and Collin. As others have mentioned there’s good ISD’s in Dallas, Tarrant, and Denton Counties as well.

Parts of DISD are really good. Lakewood area schools and a few others around town although most end up sending their kids to private for anything above elementary. Also Richardson has some good schools in Dallas county

What are your kids’ ages? Also - city or suburb?

Caveat on public high schools .. due to ton of in bound migrations, school districts like frisco coppell etc had to open new high schools but there is dearth of quality teachers for advanced courses that most of these suburban kids need .. in most cases these kids are supporting themselves via tutoring or online learning along with group studies ..
so, think of public school as a criteria till end of middle school .. beyond that you need to supplement your kids with good tutors even if they are attending highly ranked public school districts near Dfw ..

Hey Dallas folks!

I want to get to know the local private companies. I worked at a private company with 2-3k employees before my MBA. They had an amazing culture, but limited progression opportunities. I'm thinking about looking for a smaller company (couple hundred to couple thousand employees) in the Dallas area and looking to find an amazing culture.

Anyone have recommendations on companies with great cultures in the Dallas/north of Dallas areas? (I live in the Plano/Allen/Mckinney area)
