Ferris High School

Ferris High School sits in the small town of Ferris, just south of Dallas in Ellis County, where the community has a tight-knit, working-class feel and life moves at a slower pace than the sprawling suburbs nearby. The school faces some academic challenges, particularly in math and science, so families who prioritize strong academics may want to factor that into their decision. That said, for families rooted in Ferris who value a close community connection and the character that comes with a smaller-town Texas upbringing, this school is home.
