Naaman Forest High School

Naaman Forest High School sits in the eastern part of Garland, a sprawling suburb just northeast of Dallas where working families and long-time residents make up the backbone of the community. The school serves a diverse student body and offers a range of programs, but academically it tends to perform below the midpoint compared to other Texas high schools, which may give achievement-focused families pause. Families who prioritize a tight-knit, culturally rich community and proximity to the Dallas metro — without the price tag of closer-in suburbs — often find Garland a practical and welcoming place to put down roots.
