Schools in Whitesboro ISD · Grayson County

Sherman and Denison anchor Grayson County as its largest cities, yet some of the county's strongest public schools are found in smaller communities to the south and east. Ten of the county's 50 ranked schools score in the top quartile statewide — and they tend to cluster around Van Alstyne and Bells rather than the urban centers. Van Alstyne High School ranks among the county's best, while Pritchard Junior High in Bells sits at the 93rd percentile statewide, a remarkable mark for a small-town campus. Spread across 14 districts, Grayson County rewards families willing to look beyond the larger cities when choosing where to plant roots.
