School Finder

Dee Dee Halpin, M.S. and Julie Blumberg are the School Matchmakers at Houston School Options. Although based in Houston, they offer an extensive personal guide for local and relocating families who may be overwhelmed by the myriad schools in the Greater Dallas area, and assist in identifying school options that will lead to selecting the right school for each child. Whether you're a native Dallasite, new to Texas, or making a move from outside of the US, they provide a personal guide to parents to help choose the most effective school program for each child in the family.

With so many public school districts, and more than 100 private secular, parochial, and special needs schools in the Greater Dallas area, families relocating are faced with a multitude of educational options for their children. This service specifies viable school options to meet the needs of the individual child and family. The options are based on input obtained from the parents through phone conversations, email, completion of a questionnaire, and meetings in person when possible. Information is also gathered by reviewing school records, any testing and evaluation results that may identify special abilities or disabilities, and any other relevant information provided by the parents. All consultations are confidential.
