Curtistene S McCowan Middle

Glenn Heights sits in that growing stretch between Dallas and Waxahachie where suburban life still has a little breathing room, but McCowan Middle is a school that families in the area should look into carefully before assuming it's a strong fit academically. The school scores in the lower range statewide across English, math, and science, which may give pause to families who prioritize academic performance when choosing where to put down roots. That said, DeSoto ISD is a district with a tight-knit community identity, and families who are engaged and proactive about supplementing their kids' education may find a welcoming school culture here.
