TYLER — Niche, a nationally recognized school research organization, released their list of the safest and best school districts by county.

They measure the safety of school using several factors including health, expenses per student, absentees, suspensions, expulsions, calls to law enforcement referrals and arrests.

To determine the best school districts, researchers used academic achievement, culture and diversity, surveys determining both students' and parents' experiences with the district, teacher quality, extracurricular activities, health and safety, resources and facilities and sports.
