Best Schools in Flower Mound, Texas

Flower Mound's public school system spans 21 ranked schools with a city-wide average of 8.2 out of 10. Twenty of those schools — 95 percent — score 7 or higher. That near-universal floor is the first thing parents comparing cities should note. Low-scoring schools are essentially absent here, which means families have strong options regardless of where their home address falls within district boundaries.

The strongest schools anchor the elementary level. Old Settlers Elementary leads the city at 9.2 out of 10, the highest score among all 21 ranked schools. Wellington Elementary and Liberty Elementary each score 8.9, putting three elementary schools clustered between 8.9 and 9.2. For families with young children, that concentration of high-rated options at the elementary level is one of Flower Mound's clearest assets.

The secondary schools maintain strong scores as well. Flower Mound High School scores 8.8 and Argyle High School scores 8.7 — both comfortably above the 8.2 city average. The gap between the city's top elementary score (9.2) and its top high school score (8.8) is less than half a point. That narrow spread suggests academic performance carries through the grades rather than peaking early, a useful signal for families thinking about long-term enrollment.

For parents making a decision, Flower Mound's consistency is the core argument. Boundary lines here carry less urgency than in cities where one school scores a 9 and a neighboring school scores a 5. Parents can weight proximity, programs, and extracurriculars more heavily in their decision without trading away academic quality. The top-rated elementary schools — Old Settlers, Wellington, and Liberty — will draw the most attention from families tracking school scores closely. At the high school level, both ranked options score above 8.5, making the choice a matter of fit rather than performance.
