Alma Brewer Strawn Elementary

Dale is a small rural community southeast of Austin where life moves at a quieter pace, and Alma Brewer Strawn Elementary reflects that tight-knit, small-town character. The school's academic scores are a work in progress, and families who get involved — volunteering, staying connected with teachers — tend to get the most out of what the community has to offer. It's a good fit for families who value a close relationship with their child's school and are willing to be active partners in their education.
