My family and I are moving to the Dallas area due to my husbands job. We live in a small town outside of Houston now, with a population of about 11k, we have a 7yr old & 13 yr old-and the schools are barely 3A & are academically acceptable as far as TAKS is concerned. We are looking to buy a house in Little Elm and heard that the Denton County schools are not all that good, even if the school you would go to was is in Frisco ISD-still Denton County. We want to stay with the small town feel because of our kids transition (less is more) but do not want to get into a bad school district that doesn't care about the kids. Everyone's idea of "bad schools" is different, so can someone tell me about the schools in Denton County and what is it that is really bad about them? We want our kids to be happy there.

Thank you for any help I can get.

I would not feel bad about going to Frisco ISD. I wouldn't go to Little Elm ISD. I have not heard very favorable things about Little Elm. On the other hand I have friends who teach in Frisco and I hear a lot of positive things. Lewisville ISD is also pretty good.

You'd like the Frisco-Little Elm area, and Frisco does have a fine school district. They try to keep their high schools small (about 1,800 students or less), and neighborhoods and parks in Frisco are master-planned.

Since the districts are independent school districts you can't generalize about all of the schools in any one county. The schools don't do anything county-wide. Frisco or Little Elm are going to be bigger than you are used to. They have 4A high schools.
