Does your child go to the best school in Texas? There's one way to find out.

Niche released its Best Schools and Districts rankings for 2023, and a chunk of Lone Star State schools have made the cut. Here's how they did it:

While traditional rankings rely almost exclusively on metrics like test scores and academic performance, Niche’s rankings combine user input — ratings from current students, alumni, and parents — with quantitative data from sources like the U.S. Department of Education to evaluate teachers, resources and facilities, extracurricular activity opportunities and more. The 2023 Best Schools rankings include 2,906 newly ranked public schools, 1,018 newly ranked private schools, and 547 newly ranked school districts.

While no Texas schools cracked the top 5 best public or private high schools or school districts, there's still a lot to celebrate. Here's a look at the best schools and districts in Texas:
