Need input!: FM vs Frisco vs Carrolton Schools (Carrollton, Flower Mound: house, neighborhood)

[gocubs418]

Which one is the best one

1. Flower Mound Garden Ridge Elem
2. Carrollton Kent Elem
3. Frisco Taylor Elem.

I would guess Elementary would be the only school that we would for sure use. Middle would be 12 years out.

I heard Frisco Curtsinger Elem is better, blue-ribbon, longer history & not far away from Taylor.

Children at Risk, who have very reliable school rankings, give Taylor and Kent A+ and Garden Ridge an A.

Taylor's middle and high schools are A+ (though in 12 years in FISD that could very well change; I wouldn't even bank on the elementary school being the same unless the neighborhood is built out and your house is very close to the school, as Frisco ISD changes their boundary lines virtually every year).

Garden Ridge's middle school got an A, and the high school (Flower Mound) got an A+.

Kent's middle school got an A-, and Creekview High School got an A.

In short, your kid is probably going to get a very good education regardless of which one you choose. Carrollton is much closer to downtown than Flower Mound and Frisco are.
