As a parent with a child or children, you want them to receive the best education possible. Whether you're moving around within the city or moving to Tyler, schools play a huge role in where you end up living.

Out of curiosity, I ran across the site GreatSchools.org and decided to look up the schools in Tyler. According to the site, the five highest ranked schools on a scale of 1 - 10 are:

  • 8 in Great Schools Rating
    Jack Elementary
  • 7 in Great Schools Rating
    Wise Elementary Fine Arts Magnet
  • 6 in Great Schools Rating
    Birdwell Elementary
    Owens Elementary
  • 5 in Great Schools Rating

Tyler ISD employs some of the best teachers in East Texas that do an outstanding job teaching the young minds of East Texas at all nineteen elementary school campuses. When I looked at this ranking, I didn't realize there were so many elementary schools in Tyler!
