Houston Elementary

Lancaster is a small city tucked into the southern edge of Dallas County, with a tight-knit community feel that's a world away from the bustle of downtown Dallas. Houston Elementary sits in the middle of that community, and while its academic scores reflect some of the challenges common to the area, its science numbers show a bit more promise and suggest there's real potential being developed in classrooms. Families who are deeply rooted in Lancaster and value a neighborhood school where staff tends to know students by name may find it a comfortable fit, especially for younger kids getting their start.
