Dallas and Fort Worth rank first and second on the Texas Education Agency's Public Education Grant list of underperforming schools.

Dallas leads the state with 48 schools that need improvement, while Fort Worth and Houston tie for second with 30 each.

A total of 115 North Texas schools are on the list.

The list includes schools where student test scores were too low or were rated unacceptable.
