Pleasant Run Elementary

Pleasant Run Elementary sits in Lancaster, a small city just south of Dallas where tight-knit community roots run deep, but families here should know that academic performance currently lags well behind state averages across English, math, and science. It may be a good fit for families who are closely involved in their child's learning and willing to supplement at home, or those drawn to Lancaster's affordable housing and proximity to the broader Dallas metro. The school and district are areas to watch for families weighing their options in southern Dallas County.
