Guthrie School

Guthrie School sits in one of the most remote corners of Texas — King County has fewer than 300 residents, making this tiny school a true community anchor where everyone knows everyone. Families here get a surprisingly strong academic program, with scores that rival much larger schools in far more populated areas, which speaks to the close-knit, dedicated nature of both staff and students. If you're drawn to wide-open ranch country and a school where your child is genuinely known as an individual rather than a number, Guthrie is a rare find on the rolling plains of West Texas.
