Paloma Creek Elementary

Paloma Creek Elementary sits in the rapidly growing Aubrey area of Denton County, where master-planned communities have brought an influx of young families to what was once quiet North Texas ranch land. The school is still finding its footing academically, with test scores that trail most of the state, so families who prioritize academics may want to look closely at how the school is progressing year over year. That said, the surrounding community is tight-knit and fast-developing, and families drawn to the affordable, spacious feel of outer Denton County — with Dallas–Fort Worth access but a small-town pace — will find plenty of neighbors in the same boat building something new together.
