Current Resident: I like the extended creeks that roam behind the houses and the calming chirps of birds and owls and hawks flying above. I enjoy the ease of long walks up and down the street. It's a very peaceful place to live with a variety of houses and great spacing between houses to enjoy space between neighbors. No one is every to loud or to distracting and the community is fairly friendly. It has been my home for as long as I can remember and I enjoy living in my beautiful home with my beautiful city....

Senior: My High school and middle school years at Austin achieve Public schools have been the best. Austin Achieve high school compared to other schools can be easily distinguished because their number one priority is to help their scholars prepare for College. The teachers and staff members really take their time and effort to listen to their students' needs. More than that we are more of ¨One school one family" because the polar bear pride is felt all through the school. Adding on, they prioritize the student's needs and teachers reach out to their students if they are struggling. They are very college-oriented and appreciation towards teachers and staff is see with the anchor's Respect and hard work.... Read 26 reviews

Niche User: I love Waxahachie! It is the cutest, quaint little town. There's a little bit of both the historic and modern sides of the town. The historic downtown area is adorable and fun to walk around to see all the shops, coffee places, and park, and the modern side has a whole bunch of fast-food and dine-in restaurants, places to shop, and supermarkets. And if you need to get away awhile and see the city, it's only about a 30-minute drive to Dallas.... Read 121 reviews

Former Resident: Red Oak is a quiet town that is quickly growing and diversifying as the years continue to pass by. Growing up in Red Oak I always felt safe and secured whether I was walking to and from school or taking a stroll in the neighborhood. My first job was at the animal clinic, my boss and coworkers were absolutely wonderful and respectful. They showed me how to handle work conflicts with ease and poise and the importance of communication and understanding between coworkers. The town was centered around the high school and the pride was electrifying. The support of Red Oak High School really helped the students feel a sense of unity with the Red Oak Community. Since Red is a small town everyone knows each other and had a sense of pride and respectfulness when greeting each other in passing again representing family and oneness within the community. Red Oak is exactly were I needed to be to lay the foundation of where I am now as a United States Service Member.... Read 78 reviews

Current Resident: Ferris is what you would call the admiration of every small town in America. It's ideal diversity and community outreach is beyond stupendous, though I would like to see more nightlife in the area. On the other hand, this small town is slowing growing, adding more local businesses and households.

Parent: The curriculum is strong, with students working above grade level in many subjects. Teachers set high expectations and then help each child achieve those goals in a warm and nurturing environment. Each day students’ folders are filled with the work that they have completed so that parents can be informed of their child’s progress. Any obstacles are handled at early stages and the child is treated with the utmost respect every step of the way. The emphasis on STEAM is helping to prepare students for a successful future. Every member of the staff knows each kid--not only their names, but their individual personalities. Additional benefits of ACE include smaller class sizes, character development, a uniform that minimizes drama in the mornings, responsive staff, and an exceptional facility. I am confident that my children have a strong educational foundation and love of learning that will serve them well going forward.... Read 7 reviews
