David and Lynda Olson Elementary

Tucked into one of Allen's established neighborhoods, Olson Elementary stands out for its particularly strong English scores and solid all-around academics in a district that already sets a high bar. Allen itself is a well-planned suburb north of Dallas where families tend to put down roots for the long haul — good parks, safe streets, and a real sense of community investment in the schools. Families who prioritize literacy and language arts alongside dependable math and science instruction will feel right at home here.
