Leslie A Stemmons Elementary

Stemmons Elementary sits in the Oak Cliff area of southwest Dallas, a neighborhood with deep community roots and a predominantly Hispanic population that gives the school a strong sense of cultural identity. Academics are fairly solid in English and math, hovering right around the middle of the pack statewide, though science scores have room to grow. Families who value a tight-knit, community-oriented school in a neighborhood with character — and don't mind being part of an urban district that's actively working to improve — will find Stemmons a relatable and welcoming option.
