Jackie Mae Townsell Elementary

Jackie Mae Townsell Elementary serves a diverse Irving community just west of Dallas, where families are drawn to the area's mix of affordable neighborhoods, easy highway access, and proximity to the DFW Metroplex's job centers. The school faces some academic headwinds, with scores in the lower percentiles across English, math, and science, making it a school where families who are actively involved in supplementing their child's education may find the most success. For parents already rooted in this part of Irving — a busy, working-class corridor near Las Colinas — Townsell can be a starting point, and connecting with the school community early is key to understanding what supports are available.
