When our oldest daughter was 2 years old, we started looking at our options for schools. Many people in our Lakewood neighborhood sent their kids to private schools, but we saw that their friends and activities were spread all over the Dallas area. We knew we were looking for a public school that offered challenging education and a friendly community. After studying the elementary schools in the Richardson School District, we were drawn to Prairie Creek because of the small class sizes, the school environment and unique offerings like the Sign Choir. We moved to the neighborhood in 1999. The beautiful area where we live and the wonderful friends we’ve made have been icing on the cake. Its been 8 years since we moved to Prairie Creek – we still have 2 kids at PCE and our oldest is in Junior High. This has been a great decision for every member of our family!

Our family joined the Prairie Creek Elementary family five years ago when my husband was relocated to Dallas from Atlanta, GA. Our oldest daughter was entering the third grade and our youngest daughter was just beginning Kindergarten. We picked three elementary schools to visit. We used D Magazine’s list of the best schools and did our research by reviewing the schools test scores. But we also had to find an area that “neighbored” and felt like home. We picked Prairie Creek and were welcomed with open arms. We have lived here now for almost five years, I am still thrilled with the school and the community.
