Good schools, low crime, parks and recreation, cultural activities, community events, and lots of kids…these are all things you would want if you are raising a family. Plano TX has all this and more, which is why it has been ranked among the top 10 American cities as the ‘Best Place to Grow Up’, by US News And World Report. Here is what they have to say about Plano TX…
Plano, Texas: With 7,000 faculty and staff members serving 55,000 students in this Texas community, the Plano Independent School District has achieved national recognition for its strength. The Department of Education has handed 24 of its schools National Blue Ribbon Schools of Excellence awards, and 99 of its seniors were named semifinalists in the 2008 National Merit Scholarship Program. “We have a wonderful park system here in our community that has always been very much focused on youth sports, whether it is soccer or baseball or basketball,” says Mayor Phil Dyer. Meanwhile, the community’s less costly lifestyle-median home prices are just $213,900-means there should be enough cash left in the budget for the 50-minute trip to Arlington, Texas, for a Dallas Cowboys game.
