Lucy Mae McDonald Elementary

Ferris is a small, working-class community just south of Dallas along I-45, where tight-knit neighborhoods and a strong sense of local pride define everyday life. Lucy Mae McDonald Elementary serves families in this close community, with science scores that outpace its English and math results, suggesting some bright spots worth watching. Families who are engaged and looking to supplement academics at home may find this a school where community connection matters as much as classroom performance.
