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.
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.

Texas has great schools. All that culcha from Louisiana has taken its toll however.

I thought we were comparing Texas to Louisiana?

While that may be true, Texas best schools are not in some podunk country town, they are centered around the largest cities in the state. Having some of the top schools in the nation in Dallas is why the economic growth in those areas is enormous. Take a look at Frisco, Allen and McKinney. They are growing at and exponential rate.
