At West Dallas Community School, we are firmly committed to changing the narrative that a child’s zip code determines his or her academic success.


And we are proving it every day.

 

 THE HISTORY OF WEST DALLAS COMMUNITY SCHOOL

30 YEARS OF CHANGING LIVES

Founded in 1995, West Dallas Community School is committed to providing a private Christian education for the children of West Dallas – one of the most economically, socially and academically challenged neighborhoods in the country. We are dedicated to the development of the whole child with special attention to the intellectual, spiritual, moral and physical well-being of each one of our students.

When we opened our doors 30 years ago, we welcomed twenty students. Today, we provide a comprehensive curriculum to more than 250 students from Pre-K through 8th grade. We are proud to report that our students go on to attend local private and public high schools. We boast a 96 percent high school graduation rate, and 81 percent of our graduates attend college. These numbers will only increase as WDCS students currently attending high school graduate and continue to nurture the educational foundation developed here.

We are determined to level the playing field by providing the education that all children deserve. It is through God’s abundant grace and your generosity that we are able to do so.
