Bessie Coleman Middle

Cedar Hill is a suburb southwest of Dallas with a tight-knit community feel, and Bessie Coleman Middle reflects that — it's a neighborhood school where families are deeply connected to the district. The school struggles academically compared to many of its peers across Texas, so families with strong academic priorities may want to look closely at how it fits their child's needs and consider what support structures are in place. That said, Cedar Hill ISD has a loyal local following, and for families already rooted in the community, it can still be a familiar, comfortable home base for the middle school years.
