Ouida Baley Middle

Royse City sits in the fast-growing stretch between Dallas and Greenville, where new subdivisions are popping up alongside longtime ranching communities — and Ouida Baley Middle is navigating that growth curve like many schools in the area. Families moving out here for more space and lower costs than closer-in suburbs will find a school that's still finding its footing academically, with scores that sit in the middle of the pack statewide. It's a solid fit for families who are drawn to the small-town feel of Royse City and plan to stay engaged in their kids' education along the way.
