Summary:
Zip code 76002 in Arlington, TX, is served by 12 schools—7 elementary, 2 middle, and 3 high schools—split between the Mansfield Independent School District (Isd) and the Arlington Independent School District (Isd), with a high average economic need across the area.
The standout school is Tccse Early College H S At Timberview, a Mansfield ISD campus ranking in the 99th percentile statewide with near-perfect test scores, a 100% graduation rate, and the lowest per-student spending ($6,407). In contrast, Mansfield Timberview High School serves as the area’s standard comprehensive high school, performing solidly in the 65th percentile. Within Arlington ISD, Beckham Elementary is a remarkable success story, ranking in the 84th percentile despite having the highest percentage of economically disadvantaged students (79.59%) in the zip code, while Pearcy Stem Academy also performs well at the 76th percentile. However, Mansfield ISD has its own internal struggles: Janet Brockett Elementary and Imogene Gideon Elementary rank in the bottom 23rd and 18th percentiles, respectively, showing that district-level success doesn’t guarantee every campus excels.
A key takeaway is the inverse relationship between spending and performance—the highest-spending schools like Imogene Gideon ($11,660) and Ashworth Elementary ($11,406) are among the lowest-performing, while Tccse Early College thrives on a lean budget. Another notable trend is a "middle school math gap," with proficiency dropping from 32.65% in 5th grade at Della Icenhower Intermediate to 29.57% in 8th grade at James Coble Middle. Overall, families in 76002 have stark choices: Mansfield ISD offers top-tier options like Tccse Early College and Martha Reid Academy (47.87% economically disadvantaged), while Arlington ISD provides bright spots like Beckham Elementary, but also faces challenges at Seguin High School and Ashworth Elementary.
