Nesmith Elementary

Nesmith Elementary sits in Lavon, a small town on the eastern edge of Collin County that's grown quickly as families search for more space without straying too far from the Dallas-Fort Worth metro. The school shows some real strengths in science, and families who value a tight-knit, small-town feel over the hustle of the larger Collin County suburbs tend to find a good fit here. It's the kind of place where the community is still figuring out its identity as new neighborhoods pop up, making it an interesting time to put down roots.
