Dawson Elementary

Dawson Elementary sits in the heart of 78704 — one of Austin's most vibrant and sought-after zip codes, home to South Congress, Zilker Park, and some of the city's best local restaurants and music venues. Despite the neighborhood's popularity, Dawson's academic scores currently rank among the lowest in the state, so families who prioritize test performance may want to look closely at the data before enrolling. That said, families deeply rooted in the 78704 community who value proximity to an incredibly lively urban environment and are open to supplementing their child's education may still find it a meaningful local option.
