Salado ISD offers above-average schools and a reasonable Fort Cavazos commute, but higher home prices and dated school data deserve a close look before committing.
The good
- Above-average schools (54/100) — outperforms most districts
- 18 miles to Fort Cavazos — manageable daily commute
- County crime roughly at the national average (2022)
Worth weighing
- Higher-end home prices (~$498k) — run your BAH in the ZIP tool
- School score is from 2018 — quality may have shifted
- County crime figure may not reflect your specific neighborhood
