Burks Elementary

Burks Elementary sits in one of the older, more established parts of McKinney, a city that's grown dramatically while still holding onto its charming historic downtown square. The school serves a diverse community and, while academics are still developing in English and Math, families with kids who love hands-on science may find something worth noting — the school's science scores rank in the top 5% statewide, which is a standout in any neighborhood. Families drawn to a tight-knit, community-rooted feel in a rapidly evolving North Texas city might find Burks worth a closer look.
