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.

About the Listing Agent
Drew Burgess
Keller Williams Realty DPR
Burgess Group at Keller Williams in Dallas, Texas. His professionalism and attention to detail make him stand out from the ever-growing crowd of real estate agents, many who only wear the badge as a day job. For Drew and his team, real estate is a lifestyle, and customer service is absolute. Drew began his career in relocation, working with large relocation management companies like Cartus, SIRVA, and Aires. For nearly a decade, he rubbed shoulders with the best in business, from technicians to regional managers to managing director, hailing from companies like Pepsi, Coca-Cola, JP Morgan, Toyota, Goldman Sachs, Thomson Reuters, and Novartis. For years Drew’s clients enlightened him to new standards in professionalism, integrity, and even fellowship. Drew and his team now apply the same principles in real estate. The Burgess Group prides itself on responsiveness, timeliness, and clear communication. In fact, the ultimate goal is to ensure clients’ smooth and easy transition. Drew’s background is in Biochemistry, and – after graduation – he spent many years working with students trying to grasp the difficult concepts in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. One of his favorite quotes is from Albert Einstein: “If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.” This has become almost a mantra for his interactions with clients and friends. His science background has also accorded him with the skills necessary to build efficient systems, reducing complex problems to simple solutions. Ultimately, Drew endeavors to work so tirelessly for each client that – for his client, at least – the transaction is entirely carefree. In a practical sense, The Burgess Group provides value through heightened knowledge of the market, professional advising, artful staging, clean advertising, unflinching negotiating skills, fully vetted systems, and an all-around good demeanor. Ultimately, real estate is about more than just objects – Drew and his team most enjoy making new friends every day and keeping those friends for a lifetime. These qualities and experience have earned The Burgess Group various accolades, including Chairman’s Circle Gold, “Best of Zillow,” and Luxury Collection Specialist. The Group attracts clients from all over Dallas – Fort Worth, but the bulk are in Lakewood, University Park, North Dallas, Frisco, and Southlake. Drew’s favorite pastime is returning home to his wife and two beautiful children just north of McKinney, Texas. While Drew is a native Dallas resident, he has spent years of his life traveling the globe, and now he and his family most enjoy the quiet of their one-acre homesite. Otherwise, if they are not at home, you will find them on the road following their daughter’s dream to one day be a professional tennis player.
