The schools in Sachse are part of both the Garland and Wylie Independent School Districts.<br />
Garland Independent School District<br />
With an enrollment of m<strong>or</strong>e than 57,000 students, GISD is the second-largest district in Dallas County and<br />
among the largest in Texas.As suburbs of a national metropolis, Garland ISD’s tri-communities have always had<br />
the best of both w<strong>or</strong>lds – the flav<strong>or</strong> and feel of small towns coupled with the amenities offered by a large city.<br />
This helps maintain a cozy feeling while allowing teachers access to the increased resources offered by<br />
larger districts.<br />
Every school in GISD provides the same high level of instruction. However, that doesn’t mean you will find clone<br />
schools here. Campuses, like students, are unique with personalities that reflect the attitudes of their own<br />
students, parents and staff. And none have m<strong>or</strong>e flair than those situated in the Garland ISD.<br />
Wylie Independent School District<br />
WISD offers a wide range of educational opp<strong>or</strong>tunities based in a tradition of academic excellence. The district<br />
and individual students annually receive numerous awards and hon<strong>or</strong>s both academic and extracurricular. On<br />
the Texas Education Agency Accountability rep<strong>or</strong>ts, all WISD elementary schools are currently rated as<br />
“recognized”<strong>or</strong> “exemplary.”Wylie students also sc<strong>or</strong>e above state and national averages on SAT and ACT college<br />
entrance exams. Based on their perf<strong>or</strong>mance on the PSAT exam, the district has students who are recognized<br />
by the National Merit Scholarship Program. Each year, WISD seventh grade students who perf<strong>or</strong>m well above<br />
their grade level on the PSAT exam are recognized by the Duke University Talent Identification Program. In fine<br />
arts, career programs, Air F<strong>or</strong>ce Juni<strong>or</strong> ROTC and academic University Interscholastic League programs, Wylie<br />
students receive state and national recognition in competition with students from other districts. Students also<br />
participate and excel in specialized programs such as culinary arts, television production, health professions<br />
and agriculture sciences.<br />
With a current enrollment of approximately 11,000 students, Wylie ISD continues its fast-past growth. Through<br />
supp<strong>or</strong>t of the community, the district opened three new campuses in August 2007. They are Wylie East High<br />
School, Al Draper Intermediate and Rita G. Smith Elementary. A ninth elementary, Don Whitt Elementary,<br />
opened in August 2008 and is located in Sachse, Texas.<br />
