Melissa is a small suburban city positioned roughly forty miles north of Downtown Dallas.

The high-performing schools and low crime rate have also made Melissa an attractive option for folks raising families. Just a few minutes down Highway 75, the larger communities of McKinney and Allen feature an array of shopping centers, restaurants, movie theaters, golf courses, and other popular attractions.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
