Summary: Relocating from the West Coast often brings up one major question: should your child attend public or private school in Texas? This guide compares both options to help families decide based on academics, lifestyle, and long-term priorities.
California parents are often used to choosing private schools due to overcrowded classrooms, inconsistent funding, or curriculum concerns. But in DFW, public schools can rival or exceed private options—especially in luxury suburbs.
Why Some Families Choose Public Schools:
Nationally ranked school districts (e.g., Southlake Carroll, Frisco ISD)
No tuition (saves $20K–$40K per child annually)
Strong AP/IB programs and extracurriculars
Diverse student body and robust sports programs
Why Others Opt for Private Schools:
Smaller class sizes and faith-based curriculum
IB, Montessori, or alternative pedagogy options
Flexibility during transitions or relocations
More personalized college prep and academic tracking
Cost Comparison (Per Year, 2025):
Quote from Nitin Gupta:
“Some families start with private school and transition to public once they see the quality available. Others do the reverse. Either way, the right real estate agent helps position your family near the best choices.”
Tips for Choosing:
Visit both public and private options before deciding
Ask about school zoning when touring homes
Consider long-term plans—K–12 continuity vs. flexibility
