Redwater High School

Tucked into the piney woods of Bowie County in far Northeast Texas, Redwater High School punches well above its weight for a small-town school — especially in math, where it ranks among the top schools in the state. Families who want a tight-knit community feel without sacrificing academic rigor will find a lot to like here, and the rural East Texas setting means kids grow up knowing their neighbors, their teachers, and pretty much everyone on the opposing team's sideline. It's the kind of place where strong local pride and serious classroom performance go hand in hand.
