About Parish Episcopal School

Parish Episcopal School serves 1,090 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade in Dallas, Texas. Despite its name suggesting a private institution, this is actually a regular public school offering education across all grade levels in one comprehensive campus. With 116 full-time equivalent teachers, the school maintains an excellent student-teacher ratio of 9.4:1, providing opportunities for more individualized attention than many larger public schools.

This smaller class environment can be particularly beneficial for students who thrive with closer teacher relationships and more personalized instruction. The school receives a solid MySchoolScout rating of 8.5 out of 10, though it ranks #681 out of 884 schools statewide, placing it in the 23rd percentile among Texas schools. This suggests the school is working to support student achievement and has room for continued academic growth.

Located on Hillcrest Road, Parish Episcopal School operates within Dallas's large urban environment, giving students access to the educational and cultural opportunities that come with city life while maintaining a more intimate school community through its manageable enrollment size.

What Parents Should Know

With a student-teacher ratio of 9.4:1, Parish Episcopal School offers a notably low ratio compared to the national average. This typically means smaller class sizes and more opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.

As a private school, Parish Episcopal School operates independently from the local public school district. Families considering this school should inquire about tuition costs, financial aid availability, and the admissions process. Private schools are not required to follow the same curriculum standards as public schools, which can be either an advantage or a consideration depending on your priorities.
