Thelma Elizabeth Page Richardson Elementary

Richardson Elementary sits in southeast Dallas, a working-class corner of the city where tight-knit, mostly Hispanic and Black families put down roots and stay for generations. The school shows more promise in math than its overall ranking might suggest, and families who are engaged and proactive about supplementing academics at home may find it a solid community anchor. It's the kind of neighborhood school where knowing your child's teacher personally comes naturally, and where parents who plug into the school community can make a real difference in their kid's experience.
