Floyd Elementary

Floyd Elementary sits in Balch Springs, a close-knit working-class community tucked into the southeastern corner of Dallas County, where families tend to put down roots and stay. The school serves a largely low-income student population and faces some academic challenges, scoring in the lower range statewide — but for families already connected to the neighborhood, it's part of a tight community fabric that extends well beyond the classroom. Families who are exploring options in Mesquite ISD may want to compare nearby campuses, as academic performance can vary quite a bit across the district.
