arlington tx isd

A:I just moved to Arlington last summer. I live in south Arlington which is south of I20. The further south you go, you will be in a different school district. My kids are in the Mansfield school district which is the fastest growing ISD in the area. The schools in Mansfield ISD are divided K-4, 5-6, 7-8 and 9-12. The district is building a new school every year whether it be an elementary, high, junior or intermediate. I am 100% pleased at the quality of education my kids are receiving. I have one that is iin the gifted and talented cirriculum and the other is receiving services at shcool for a speech delay. Needless to say I have two children with two very different needs and I can't say enough good things about either one. Consider looking at the websites for each district. You'll be able to see test scores and so forth. Grand Prairie has a large latino population which often comes with a language barrier. Alot of the children are learning English as a second language so this tends to reflect in the standarized test scores. Mansfield more diverse than Arlington and GP districts. Best advice is to do your homework and look at the numbers. One thing either way is that you see your tax dollars put back into the schools so you can't lose. Good luck!
