Cross Timbers Elementary

Cross Timbers Elementary sits in Azle, a small city on the western edge of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex where the suburbs start giving way to open land and a more relaxed pace of life — the kind of place where families trade highway traffic for Eagle Mountain Lake weekends. The school performs solidly above average in both English and math, making it a reliable choice in a district that tends to fly under the radar compared to its bigger DFW neighbors. Families drawn to a tight-knit community feel without sacrificing academic quality will find a lot to like here.
