Dallas ISD’s School for the Talented and Gifted at Yvonne A. Ewell Townview Center (TAG) has been named the best high school in Texas, with Irma Lerma Rangel Young Women’s Leadership School coming in second place, and the School of Science and Engineering (SEM) at Yvonne A.

Additionally, both SEM and TAG also ranked No. 7 and 8, respectively, among the top 1,000 public science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) schools in the country. In total, 36 Dallas ISD schools were recognized in the magazine’s list of Texas Best High School rankings.
“Our community is excited to be ranked as the best high school in Texas and top eight in the U.S.,” said Arnoldo Zuñiga, TAG principal. “Our students, teachers and staff continued to rise to the challenge to ensure our students would be college and career ready, all while navigating through a global pandemic.”
