Bob and Lola Sanford Elementary

Van Alstyne is one of those small North Texas towns that's grown quickly as families look for a quieter alternative to the Dallas-Fort Worth sprawl, and Sanford Elementary reflects that community-minded energy well. The school stands out for its strong English scores, making it a solid choice for families who prioritize literacy and language arts in the early grades. It's a good fit for parents who want a tight-knit school feel without sacrificing academic quality, especially those drawn to the charm of a small town with easy access to the larger metro area.
