Schools in Oak Cliff

November 19, 2014 by Ged Dipprey

School options in North Oak Cliff neighborhoods have never been better thanks in large part to supportive programming, dedicated teachers and parent group initiatives offered in our community.  Learning does not end at the start and conclusion of the school bell, and these fantastic community resources can help busy parents connect with like-minded families.

 

As a realtor specializing in Oak Cliff, one of the first question I am asked by prospecitive residents considering purchasing a home in Oak Cliff, is the most obvious one, “how are the schools?”  Well, thanks to the hard work and commitment of so many individuals committed to improving the lifes of our children and communities, Oak Cliff offers terriffic options for families considering either public or private school options in Oak Cliff.   Let’s take a look at some of the groups and schools available to Oak Cliff residents.

One caveat, always be certain to check with the school district to determine the current boundaries, sometimes referred to as “attendance zone maps” when considering purchasing a new home for the purpose having your children attend a specific school.  MLS information and even information provided by the seller is often times incorrect and redistricting is always a possibility.  At the time of this post, DISD offered this attendance zone map for Rosemont Elementary: http://www.dallasisd.org/cms/lib/TX01001475/Centricity/Domain/89/schoolinfo/eszones2011/rosemont2011.pdf

Other DISD attendance zones can be found at http://www.dallasisd.org/Page/15225

 

Now lets explore various schools in Oak Cliff.

 

Not your Momma’s PTA! Rosemont Early Childhood PTA (RECEPTA)

 Rosemont Early Childhood PTA (RECPTA) is the oldest early childhood PTA in the state of Texas. For over 75 years, this organization has had its finger on the pulse of all things Oak Cliff. While benefiting Rosemont Elementary, RECEPTA membership is not limited to Rosemont parents and all parents (or soon to be parents) living in or around the North Oak Cliff area are welcome. Membership in RECEPTA grants OC parents access to these incredible resources.

Play groups – Play groups are organized by birth year and are a great way to meet other moms and dads. It’s the perfect place to toss around solutions and stories.

Monthly Meetings – Meet other parents in the group and get involved. Meetings are held the 3rd Wednesday of every month unless otherwise stated.

Mom’s Night Out – Get out for some adult conversation!

Sunshine Meals – Volunteers provide meals to families that have just delivered, adopted a child, or require assistance in times of special need.

Retreats – Get away from it all with people who understand just how priceless those moments away really are.

Emails – This Yahoo email group is a great way to find out what your neighbors are recommending, selling, doing and advising.

Oak Cliff Dad’s Join In Too! Membership in RECEPTA includes The Rosemont Dad’s Club


These Oak Cliff dads are serious about their neighborhood’s’ and children’s future.  They are dedicated to providing resources to supplement the development of students at   Rosemont Elementary School and Rosemont Primary School – Chris V. Semos Campus,  both of which are public schools in the Dallas Independent School District.  In addition, the Rosemont Dad’s Club host an annual golf tournament all for a great cause – to help develop a more robust athletics program at Rosemont Elementary .

Clients Kudos

If you would like speak directly to past clients, I would be more than happy to get you in touch.

Ged was an outstanding Realtor throughout our entire home buying process. In a market where time is of the essence, Ged always was quick to get answers from the seller and provide us with needed documents immediately. Using Ged as our realtor ensured that purchasing our new home went smoothly and closed on time. I would recomend Ged to anyone that is looking for a Realtor.

Paul and Meredith-Mckinney, Tx

"I was a first time home buyer before this, so this was all new to me. Ged put me at ease by explaining all of the steps and reasons behind each one. He is very familiar with the North Oak Cliff area and was able to tell me all about the "personalities" of each of the neighborhoods we looked in. He was always just a phone call or text away during the entire process. I am now the proud owner of the perfect house for me!"

Pacia-North Oak Clliff

For personalized leadership, committed service and overall professionalism second to none, we would encourage you to reach out to Ged. We did, and if ever a future real-estate opportunity were to arise, we would once again....turn to Ged. Thanks Ged! For a job well done.

Dr and Mrs Hector Chapa-North Oak Cliff

I want to thank you for the exception service you provided in selling a house for me. You were extremely helpful in guiding me through the process of selling a house during an extremely difficult market. I appreciate your creative and useful ideas to improve not only the curb appeal of the house but also suggestions to modernize and update the house very economically. Your suggestions changed the house from dull and boring to bright and inviting.

Thank you for you diligence and tenacity in looking for solutions to the various problems which arose during the process of selling the house. Sincerely, Jack Ehrle

“I have had the great pleasure of working with Katrina on two very important projects, and brainstorming with with her on several others. I find her attention to detail, ethics, and ability to negotiate to be impeccable. It is truly a joy to do business with her!” Thom Ewing, Mortgage Banker, Maverick Mortgage

“Katrina is a great realtor who helps make looking for a home fun. She was an excellent fit for first-time homebuyers like me and my wife, and helped us buy a 1950s-era brick pier-and-beam with a great backyard in Lake Highlands.” September 30, 2008 Top qualities: Personable, Expert, On Time
