School Overview

Dean Highland Elementary sits in one of Waco's older, established neighborhoods, but families considering it should know the school faces some real academic challenges, with test scores placing it near the bottom of Texas elementaries in English and Math. That said, Waco itself has seen genuine revitalization in recent years — driven in part by the Magnolia-fueled interest in the area — and families who are deeply rooted in this community may find value in the school's local connections and familiarity. Families who prioritize strong academic benchmarks, however, may want to explore other options within Waco ISD before enrolling.
