Don Whitt Elementary

Tucked into the fast-growing community of Sachse — right on the edge of the Dallas suburbs where Collin County's top-performing schools cluster — Don Whitt Elementary is the kind of school that makes families do a double-take when they're house hunting. With math scores in the 99th percentile statewide, it's a natural draw for families who prioritize strong academics, and the overall 98th percentile ranking puts it firmly among the best elementary schools in Texas. If you're settling into one of Sachse's newer neighborhoods and want a school where both the rigor and the community feel are dialed in, Don Whitt deserves a serious look.
