Chisholm Trail High School

Chisholm Trail High School sits in the fast-growing northwest corner of Fort Worth, where new subdivisions and open land still exist side by side — a part of Tarrant County that's attracting a lot of young families looking for more space without straying too far from the city. The school lands right around the middle of the pack statewide, with English scores being a relative strength, and it's part of the Eagle Mt-Saginaw district, which has been working to keep pace with the area's rapid growth. Families who like the feel of a newer, suburban community with room to put down roots — and who want a school with upside as the neighborhood continues to develop — will likely find it worth a closer look.
