Dunaway Elementary

Dunaway Elementary sits in Waxahachie, a charming small city about 30 miles south of Dallas that's grown steadily while holding onto its small-town character — think historic courthouse square, Friday night football, and neighborhoods where kids still ride bikes after school. The school's science scores are a real standout, making it a solid choice for families with kids who love hands-on learning and discovery. It's a good fit for families drawn to the warmth of a tight-knit community without straying too far from the amenities of the DFW metroplex.
