Awesome, thank you for that info. We spoke with a parent who has a blind child who attends elementary school in Waxahachie ISD and she said good things.

She also said that there are plans to develop the area in the same mold of Frisco/McKinney to the north of Dallas. Not sure if true, but that's what I was told.

That's lame, but I can stock up in advance :lol:

I know it's been a short time, but does she like it so far?
We started looking originally in the Frisco area, but I unexpectedly received great job offer in Hillsboro and we started quickly researching districts within commuting range.

We did look at Midway ISD, but we wanted to be close to the Metroplex to allow our daughter to be involved with a larger blind community. They have blind sports leagues and other clubs in Dallas that we're hopeful to get her involved in as she grows. Waxahachie is only about 30-35 minutes away. Burleson is a little further, but still not terrible.
We spoke with someone who runs the vision department at Joshua and she was awesome, but she's retiring soon and we wanted someone who would be in there for a while. Loved what we heard from her though.

She's 3. She would be eligible to start the pre-k curriculum immediately. They allow the special education kids to start at 3 instead of 4, which is great.

I don't have anything specific, but just an idea of whether or not they're both good places to live or not and if there are any areas to avoid inside those districts would be good to know. Thank you!
I received a job offer in Hillsboro, TX and I'm looking at two areas in particular to live in: Waxahachie and Burleson.

A little information: my daughter is blind and will need to go to a district with a good vision department. We looked into Mansfield, Midlothian, and Joshua already based on good reviews from others, but we felt more comfortable with Waxahachie and Burleson and the way their departments are set up currently.

We're moving from Baton Rouge and we don't know anyone in either of these two districts, so any advice on these areas would be appreciated.
