Schools in Polk County

About schools in Polk County

Deep in the Piney Woods of East Texas, Polk County's six school districts serve a rural, spread-out population across towns like Livingston, Corrigan, and Goodrich. The 15 ranked public schools here reflect the region's character — small campuses, modest resources, and communities where schools anchor daily life. None crack the statewide top quartile, but Timber Creek Elementary in Livingston leads the county near the 75th percentile, with Big Sandy School and Cedar Grove Elementary not far behind. Families prioritizing high academic rankings may need to look beyond the county, but those rooted here will find schools that know their students by name.
