Richard Lagow Elementary

Richard Lagow Elementary sits in the Pleasant Grove area of southeast Dallas, a close-knit, working-class neighborhood with deep roots and a strong sense of community pride. The school shows more strength in math and science than in English, which is worth keeping in mind for families who want to supplement reading and writing at home. Families drawn to a school where the community feels familiar and grounded — and who are willing to stay engaged in their child's learning — will find a lot to appreciate here.
