Saw this on the news recently. This list was just released showing the top safest cities in the US based on 2012 crime rankings. Several local municipalities in top 50: 18 - Allen 20 - Sugar Land 30 - Frisco 47 - Round Rock 48 - Pearland http://os.cqpress.com/citycrime/2012/CityCrime2013_CityCrimeRateRankings.pdf The list was based on a comparison of cities with populations of 75,000 or more using crime data reports released by the F.B.I. in six categories: murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary and motor vehicle theft.
Curious - is there a good high school in Pearland? It seems like a decent area, but I think of their schools as being subpar.
There are 2 High Schools. Pearland High is said to be good. The newer one - Dawson High not so good. Not sure why though.
