Tom C Gooch Elementary

Gooch Elementary sits in the Preston Road corridor of northwest Dallas, a well-established area of older ranch homes and tree-lined streets that feels quieter than much of the city. The school draws a mix of families from surrounding neighborhoods, and its math scores stand out as a relative strength worth noting. Families who prioritize a neighborhood school feel with easy access to the North Dallas amenities — parks, restaurants, and a short hop to the Tollway — will find Gooch a comfortable fit.
