Current campus facts
HPISD currently lists John S. Armstrong Elementary as serving Pre-K through Grade 4 at 3600 Cornell Avenue, Dallas, TX 75205. The district’s official “Our Schools” page is the source for current grade levels and campus addresses.
How the campus fits into a Park Cities home search
HPISD’s history traces the district’s first four-room school building to Cornell Avenue in 1914.
Elementary attendance is address-specific; families should confirm the current attendance boundary directly with HPISD before choosing a home.
Attendance boundaries matter more than distance
A nearby home is not automatically assigned to the nearest HPISD campus. Highland Park ISD serves Highland Park, University Park and a small part of North Dallas, and elementary assignments are address-specific. Always verify the exact property address with the district before treating a school assignment as part of a purchase or lease decision.
Moving during the school year
For a mid-year or summer transition, build the move plan around school dates as well as the closing date. Keep devices, uniforms, medications, records and the first week of school essentials separate from the main shipment. If the destination is a high-rise or apartment, add elevator and loading reservations to the same calendar.
