Daugherty Elementary

Daugherty Elementary sits in the eastern reaches of Garland, a sprawling suburban city that borders Dallas and carries a strong sense of working-class pride and community roots. The school shows more strength in math than in English or science, which is worth keeping in mind for families prioritizing well-rounded academics. Families in this part of Garland tend to be practical and community-minded, and those willing to get involved — whether through tutoring support at home or school programs — will likely find a welcoming, close-knit environment here.
