Dewberry Elementary

Forney has grown rapidly as a bedroom community east of Dallas, attracting families looking for more space and lower home prices without straying too far from the metroplex — but Dewberry Elementary appears to be still finding its footing academically, with scores that currently sit near the bottom of Texas elementary schools in both English and Math. Families prioritizing strong test performance may want to look closely at the data before committing to a home in this attendance zone, and it may be worth connecting with the school directly to understand what supports and improvements are underway. That said, Forney itself has a tight-knit, small-town feel with a lot of community pride, and families who get involved early often find ways to make any school work for their kids.
