Great Hearts Arlington excels in high school-level exams, with 91.43% proficiency in English II Reading, but its lower-grade performance is more mixed. Mathematics is a systemic weakness across nearly all schools, with only 24.7% of 6th graders proficient at Cross Timbers Intermediate and 25.21% of 7th graders at T A Howard Middle. However, students taking Algebra I early perform exceptionally well, masking broader struggles.

A unique strength is the bilingual program at D P Morris Elementary, where Spanish-language STAAR test scores significantly exceed state averages. Overall, while Mansfield ISD is a strong district, the schools in this zip code often perform below its average, making school choice critical for parents.
