Major Awards and Honors

TEA EXEMPLARY SCHOOL RATING Arcadia Park Elementary sets a new standard for school design and community partnership. It is the Dallas Independent School District's first combined, public-use campus -- housing a school and a public library and including a public park. As such, it is a model for efficient use of public space and tax money, cooperatively shared by the DISD, the Dallas Public Library, and the Dallas Parks and Recreation Department.


Arcadia Park's first school was founded in 1924, 13 years after investors had developed the area, then west of Dallas. The school began as a four-room brick structure. A new wing was added in 1937 and another followed in 1952. A gymnasium was built in 1962. However, the community continued to grow and develop and eventually outgrew the original and renovated structures. A large park site was acquired for a replacement school. Arcadia Park Elementary opened in the fall of 2004. The Dallas Public Library adjoining the school opened in January 2005.
