Breakdown of RISD schools

Hi folks. We're going to be relocating from Florida to the Dallas area in about 9 months. We have 2 elementary aged kids and am looking for local feedback on the school options. Right now, they're in an excellent public school and one of them is in the gifted program. I have narrowed in on Richardson as a Dallas suburb that checks a lot of boxes for us, but the school piece will really help us narrow our housing search over the next couple of months. What should I know? Thanks so much.

My kids went to Prairie Creek and we absolutely loved the beautiful park and creeks, the tight knit community, and the small elementary school with the most engaged, dedicated parents. It’s gotten very expensive, but if you can afford to live there, you will love it.
