Summary:
Zip code 76005 in Arlington, TX, is home to a single, exceptional elementary school, Viridian Elementary, which serves grades PK through 6 and is part of the highly-rated Hurst-Euless-Bedford Independent School District (ISD).
Viridian Elementary is a standout performer, consistently ranking in the 97th percentile statewide and earning a 5-star rating. With 845 students, the school dramatically outperforms both its district and state averages in every subject. For example, in 6th Grade Math, the school's proficiency rate of 79.17% is more than double the state average of 38.57%. While the school has a relatively low rate of economic disadvantage (20.12% eligible for free/reduced lunch), its per-student spending of $8,921 is not exceptionally high, suggesting its success is driven by effective teaching and curriculum rather than just financial resources.
One area for potential focus is 5th Grade Science, where the 2024-2025 proficiency rate of 57.94%, while still nearly double the state average, is the school's lowest across all subjects. Additionally, a slight performance dip was observed between the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 school years, such as 3rd Grade Reading dropping from 87.61% to 72.97%, yet the school still maintained its elite 97th percentile ranking. Overall, Viridian Elementary provides an outstanding academic foundation, giving students a significant advantage as they move into middle and high school within the Hurst-Euless-Bedford ISD.
