Good schools are a grace to real estate agents, because every homebuyer with kids wants to be near one, and many are willing to pay a premium for the convenience.
In Greater Houston alone there are over 400 high schools. Some good, some middling, and some that probably won’t help you sell a neighborhood.
We’ve combed through pages of rating data from Texas’ Department of Education, and in a multi-part series, we’ll be publishing each Greater Houston county’s top high schools by graduation rate.
For the first part of our series, we give you Harris County, starting with Somerset Academy, a charter school in Davie, which received top marks in English, mathematics and science achievement.
