CHARTER SCHOOLS
In 1995, the 74th Texas Legislature passed legislation giving the state the authority to create open-enrollment charter schools. These schools are subject to fewer state laws than other public schools with the idea of ensuring fi scal and academic accountability without undue regulation of instructional methods or pedagogical innovation. Like school districts, charter schools are monitored and accredited under the statewide testing and accountability system.

SCHOOL DISTRICTSSchool districts in the Dallas–Fort Worth region are locally administered and independent of each other. District lines generally relate to city boundaries, but are not exclusive to them. For example, the Richardson ISD includes students in Richardson and parts of Dallas and Garland. The Dallas Independent School District—or Dallas ISD, as it is known locally—is the region’s largest school district, with about 160,000 students. Students attending Dallas ISD schools live in Addison, Balch Springs, Carrollton, Cockrell Hill, Dallas, Farmers Branch, Garland, Highland Park, Hutchins, Mesquite, Seagoville, University Park and Wilmer. Since 2007, the district has more than quadrupled the number of schools receiving an Exemplary rating, the state’s highest rating. In Tarrant County, the Fort Worth ISD dominates, with about 85,000 students.
Dallas ISD hosts 15 magnet schools, including several that have been nationally recognized. Its Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts is located in the heart of the Dallas Arts District and includes several internationally known artists among its alumni. The arts magnet, along with the School for the Talented and Gifted and the School of Science and Engineering at Yvonne A. Ewell Townview Center in Dallas, were recognized as among the best high schools in the nation by U.S. News and World Report. Other area schools recognized by U.S. News include Highland Park High School, Fort Worth Academy of Fine Arts, Uplift Academy, and Harmony charter schools.
In 2016, 45 area high schools received seven of seven available distinctions from the Texas Education Agency, and 5 area schools were recognized as Blue Ribbon Schools, a national honor awarded to schools that have achieved academic excellence or made signifi cant progress in closing the achievement gap.
You have lots of choices for schooling in the Dallas area: public, public charter, private or parochial, or home schooling. Should you want to send your kids to public school, rest assured that the Dallas-Fort Worth area has many fi ne public schools.
In Texas, public school districts operate independently and are governed by locally elected school boards that locally implement state guidelines through a selection of instructional programs, curriculum and local expectations that often exceed state minimums.
Local districts are governed by an independently elected school board of trustees that hires a superintendent as CEO; sets a district philosophy (vision and mission) and local policies; selects a curriculum within the state guidelines; and sets the local ISD tax rate, budget and district boundaries.
Here’s what you need to consider in fi nding the right school district for you.
