Home to the fifth-best school district in Bell County
Temple Independent School District serves the area and is ranked the fifth-best district in Bell County, according to Niche. Students can attend Scott Elementary – which hosts regular skate nights and an annual Halloween festival – followed by Lamar Middle. Both schools earn a B-minus grade. Kids can finish their education at Temple High School, which also scores a B-minus and offers a Texas Association of Future Educators club. The high school is also known for its football team, the Temple Wildcats, who have made over 40 appearances in state playoffs and are one of the city's most successful high school football teams. “Temple High is the only high school in the area, so the entire town gets behind the team almost like a pro fan base,” says Zee Kelly, of Keller Williams Advantage-Temple, who has sold over 60 homes in Temple. St. Mary’s Catholic School is also within the neighborhood. The K-8 private school has been a community institution since 1897.
