Your Child Deserves Every Opportunity to Succeed
Choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions a family can make. But the choice is easy with Arlington ISD. Whether you’re looking for strong academics, innovative programs or a supportive and diverse community, Arlington ISD offers something for every student at every level.
From the very first day of pre-K to graduation, Arlington ISD is focused on preparing students for success – both in the classroom and beyond.
But time is limited to make the Arlington ISD choice. From now until July 17, Arlington ISD has a special transfer window open. While the window is open, students from outside the district can transfer in for the 2025-2026 school year, and students already in Arlington ISD can apply for a transfer to another school.

If you’re still considering a transfer, here are just a few of the reasons why Arlington ISD is the right choice for your family.
1. STEM Starts Early
Innovation begins early in Arlington ISD. In fact, STEM education kicks off in pre-K 4, with an innovative play-based curriculum. And every elementary school has two dedicated STEM labs designed to foster creativity, collaboration and critical thinking. Each elementary also has two new, ADA-accessible covered playgrounds, ensuring all children can play and grow together. And for students interested in the arts, fine arts instruction starts in elementary school, too, with every campus offering a strings room and free instruments for all students.
2. Athletic Opportunities with Elite Facilities
In Arlington ISD, sports begin as early as junior high – including options like tennis and wrestling – and students benefit from training by varsity-level coaches. The district takes pride in offering outstanding athletic facilities, including a state-of-the-art natatorium at the district’s Athletics Center, located in the heart of Arlington’s entertainment district. We also now offer girls flag football at all six of our traditional high schools, and our Martin High School team won the first-ever Dallas Cowboys Girls Flag Football League championship this year!
3. Junior High is the Launchpad for High School
The Arlington ISD is open for everyone, but to take full advantage of our specialized programs you must transfer in before high school. That’s because the eighth grade is when students apply for one of our two early college high schools, our four P-TECH programs or the STEM Academy at Martin High School.
4. World-Class Facilities and Real-World Learning
From industrial kitchens to fine arts performance halls, students in Arlington ISD learn in facilities designed for the 21st century. Like the Dan Dipert Carer + Technical Center, a 169,800 square-foot state-of-the-art facility that offers juniors and seniors from all Arlington ISD high schools 68 career and technical education courses in 27 programs of study. Or the Dr. Marcelo Cavazos Center for Visual and Performing Arts, designed to serve students from the entire district with world-class performance and demonstration venues, including a 1,250-seat concert hall, 425-seat theater, classroom space, art and dance studios, instrument repair center and art gallery. The district also partners with local businesses and colleges to give students hands-on experiences that connect learning to life.
5. A Community That Cares
In Arlington ISD, it’s not just about academics – it’s about people. Teachers, counselors, administrators and support staff work together to build strong relationships with families and ensure that each student feels seen, safe and supported. In fact, Arlington ISD has an entire department focused on supporting parents and families with programs that include workshops, language support and frequent opportunities to engage with schools.
