When you look at Dallas, there a quite a few ISDs that are top 25 in the state (out of 1000). Plano, frisco, Allen, McKinney, Grapevine just to name a few. These ISDs are also ranked in the top 500 nationally (out of 13000). The overall quality in the state may be in the 20s but when you look at Dallas and Austin, the public school system is top notch.

So when you only look at the highest scoring places in the state, the results are top notch? You don't say!

You realize you can do that for a lot of states by zeroing in on their best public school areas and they will perform better. Texas is average in schools at best. I don't know where you guys got this idea that they are this highly prized nationally.
