Blue Ridge Elementary

Blue Ridge Elementary sits in a small, tight-knit farming community about an hour northeast of Dallas, where the pace is slower and neighbors still know each other by name. The school performs solidly in the middle of the pack statewide, with math being a relative strength, and it has the kind of close community feel that's hard to find closer to the city. Families drawn to rural Collin County life — wide open spaces, lower costs of living, and a strong sense of local pride — will find a school that reflects the community around it.
