Freeman Elementary

Freeman Elementary sits in Garland, a working-class suburb just northeast of Dallas where tight-knit neighborhoods and longtime residents give the area a grounded, unpretentious feel. The school faces some real academic challenges — particularly in English and Science — though its math scores show more promise and suggest there's a foundation to build on. Families who are actively engaged in their child's education and looking to supplement learning at home may find this a community where that extra involvement makes a meaningful difference.
