Mamas' I have a friend moving here from California. She saw a house that she really likes in Desoto and a possible one in Arlington. I need help on school districts and schools. Her children are in middle and high school. What are the best schools in those 2 areas. She will consider other areas in Tarrant county, if the schools are really good. Her move will depend on the school districts as she is a single parent and trying to provide the best possible options for her children. Thank you.

What can I do next?

Mansfield is by far the best district in the central/southern DFW area. I personally would not go to Desoto. I teach high school in South Arlington at Bowie High School. It's a huge school with a little bit of everything - outstanding academics, but some trouble-makers, too. Every school has good and bad. Stay away from Sam Houston High School in Arlington. I woudn't even teach there, much less have my kids go to school there. Best bet, live in far south Arlington and go to Mansfield schools. None of them are bad, but I would say Legacy is the best right now. There will also be a brand new one opening in a year in a half on the Grand Prairie border with Mansfield. Message me if you have questions or want more info.

South Arlington is a really great area. My kids are still young, (3 and 10) but I have friends that brag on them.

The Arlington area is served by several school districts--The ARLINGTON ISD, MANSFIELD ISD and KENNEDALE ISD all have schools in Arlington. Each district has a website that has information on schools, test scores, and district programs. The Mansfield school district is better prepared to deal with all of the state budget cutting programs. Have her check out their programs.

Hi,
I do not know about Desoto or Arlington schools, but Northwest ISD schools are VERY high ranking. We recently moved to Texas and we did a lot of research regarding the schools. They were the most important to us. I have included the districts web site below. Your friend should look into this school district.

Good luck!
