About Keller ISD

Keller ISD serves 33,250 students across 42 schools in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, making it one of the larger suburban districts in North Texas. With 41 ranked schools averaging a 6.4 out of 10, the district performs solidly at scale — a meaningful benchmark given that sustaining quality across dozens of campuses is harder than excelling at one or two.

The district's strongest performer is Park Glen Elementary, scoring 9.1 out of 10 — well above the district's 6.4 average and a standout among Texas elementaries at any enrollment size. Ridgeview Elementary (8.0) and Liberty Elementary (7.9) reinforce that Keller's elementary tier is where the district concentrates its highest scores. Parents zoned to these campuses are looking at some of the most consistent elementary-level performance in the region.

At the secondary level, Keller High School earns an 8.2 out of 10, ranking it above the district average and signaling strong academic outcomes for its graduates. Timber Creek High School follows at 7.9, giving families in its attendance zone a competitive option as well. Having two high schools both score above the district average is a reliable sign of instructional consistency — students are not funneling into a single strong campus while others lag.

For parents comparing districts of similar size, Keller ISD's 6.4 average across 41 ranked schools is the number to benchmark against neighboring districts. A higher average means more campuses pulling weight, not just a handful of flagship schools inflating the headline score. Families relocating to the area should cross-reference their specific attendance zone against the individual school ratings, since the gap between the district's top school (9.1) and its mean (6.4) suggests meaningful variation exists. Prioritizing proximity to Park Glen, Ridgeview, or Keller High School gives families the best statistical odds of landing in a high-performing campus within an already capable district.
