Our Neighborhood Public Schools

In addition to the many great private schools in our part of North Dallas, our neighborhood public schools are among the best in Dallas Independent School District.

Believing that strong public schools enrich the neighborhood, create a sense of community, and contribute to the appeal of the area and to higher property values, the HFNA is a strong supporter of our local public schools.  We know of parents who moved to our neighborhood specifically so they could send their children to these schools.
