Back to School at Mustang Lakes: Top-Rated DFW Schools and a Bright Future
As summer winds down and backpacks are filled with fresh supplies, families across North Texas are getting ready for a brand-new school year. At Mustang Lakes, “back to school” carries extra excitement – not just for the students, but for the entire community. That’s because our neighborhood is connected to some of the best schools in the region, offering Mustang Lakes families access to highly rated campuses in Prosper ISD and Celina ISD.
A+ Schools in North Texas
When it comes to choosing where to raise a family, the quality of local schools often plays a key role. Mustang Lakes is proud to be part of two of the most sought-after districts in North Texas, both of which continue to earn statewide recognition for academic excellence.
Prosper ISD recently earned an ‘A’ rating in the Texas Education Agency’s 2024-2025 report card. Known for its innovative curriculum, talented educators, and strong community support, Prosper ISD has become one of the fastest-growing and most respected districts in Texas. Parents can feel confident knowing their children are receiving a first-rate education.
Celina ISD is also making waves. The campuses serving Mustang Lakes students, Moore Middle School and Celina High School, each earned ‘A’ ratings in the TEA report. These schools are recognized not just for their academic rigor but also for extracurricular programs that encourage leadership, creativity, and teamwork. Whether students are interested in athletics, arts, or advanced academics, Celina ISD provides a well-rounded educational experience.
A New Chapter: Margie Vasquez Elementary School
The start of the 2025-2026 school year is especially exciting for Mustang Lakes families zoned in Celina ISD. This fall marked the opening of Margie Moore Vasquez Elementary School, a brand-new Celina ISD campus serving students in kindergarten through fifth grade.
Located just four miles from Mustang Lakes, Margie Vasquez Elementary offers the convenience parents want with the innovation students need. The school was designed from the ground up to support the unique needs of a growing student population. The investment reflects Celina ISD’s commitment to creating a learning environment where every child can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
Inside, the school boasts state-of-the-art facilities designed to inspire creativity and collaboration. Students will benefit from programs emphasizing STEM education, interactive teaching methods, and hands-on learning experiences. Classrooms and common areas are intentionally designed to encourage collaboration among students, helping young learners build both knowledge and social skills.
For families in Mustang Lakes, this new school represents more than just a convenient option — it’s a chance for students to experience the joy and excitement of learning in a modern environment filled with possibilities.
The Future of Education at Mustang Lakes
Margie Vasquez Elementary isn’t the only good news for Mustang Lakes families. Plans are already in motion for a future Celina ISD elementary school located right inside the community. Imagine the ease of walking your children to school, waving goodbye to friends and neighbors along the way, and knowing your child is receiving a top-quality education just steps from home.
This future school will be another example of how Mustang Lakes blends world-class amenities, a strong sense of community, and access to excellent education. Families here don’t just find a home, they find a place where their children can grow and succeed.
