Welcome to East Dallas Community Schools

Since 1978 the purpose of East Dallas Community Schools has been to transform the way children are educated during the early childhood years.

EDCS is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization which operates early childhood learning centers with programs to meet the needs of children from birth to age nine.

For over thirty years the mission of our schools has been proving that all children, regardless of race or income, can succeed in school when we start young and involve parents.

Learn more about us!

 

 

Keys to Success

  • We start young to take advantage of the windows of opportunity in a child’s early brain development.
  • We involve parents as partners in their child’s education.
  • We encourage initiative so children learn how to be responsible for their own learning.

 

Our Results

  • In a neighborhood where less than half of entering freshmen graduate from high school, 95% of EDCS graduates earn their diplomas, with 89% of those graduates attending college.
  • For the sixth year in a row, the State of Texas has awarded EDCS a Gold Performance acknowledgment in reading.
  • In 2011, EDCS earned the national 2011 Educational Achievement Award for its system-wide support of children’s emotional well-being.
  • See more amazing results!
