A technology hub and highly rated STEM academics
Students in Berkner Park will likely attend Dartmouth Elementary School, which earns a B-plus grade from Niche. Seventh and eighth graders attend B-minus-rated Liberty Junior High School before advancing to Berkner High School, which serves nearly 2,400 students and maintains a B-plus score. The school offers a STEM academy that prepares students for college and careers in STEM industries. Students can focus on pathways such as aviation and aeronautical science, biotechnology, cybersecurity and engineering. All that STEM training fits right in with the identity Richardson has created for itself with the nearby Richardson Innovation Quarter or The IQ, located just north of Berkner Park. Created in partnership between the City of Richardson and the nearby University of Texas at Dallas, the 1,200-acre business district is home to several large technology companies and around 1,000 local businesses and start-ups with over 20,000 employees. “Berkner Park isn’t far from The Richardson IQ, which is definitely a draw for residents,” Kassen notes. “It’s a very high-tech-oriented area with a lot of jobs.”
