Arlington

Welcome to Arlington, Texas! Situated between Fort Worth and Dallas, Arlington is home to the Dallas Cowboys, the Texas Rangers, General Motors, Six Flags Over Texas and a host of global, domestic and family-owned businesses. This culturally-diverse city is the 7th-most populous city in the state of Texas, and the 49th-most populous city in the U.S.

The backbone of Arlington is its top-notch education system where students can go from pre-K to Ph. D. Possessing valued work opportunities and economic vitality Arlington also maintains an award winning parks system and is rich with cultural amenities. Arlington also offers quality, diverse neighborhoods where the housing dollar stretches further than most cities. Arlington has 99 square miles of opportunity and it is… alive with the American Dream.

Arlington is home to the University of Texas at Arlington, a major urban research university, the Arlington Assembly plant used by General Motors, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region IV, Texas Health Resources, Mensa International, and D. R. Horton. Additionally, Arlington hosts the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field, the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium, the Dallas Wings at College Park Center, the International Bowling Campus (which houses the United States Bowling Congress, International Bowling Museum and the International Bowling Hall of Fame), and the theme parks Six Flags Over Texas (the original Six Flags) and Hurricane Harbor.

Arlington’s residents live in five independent school districts (or ISDs): Arlington ISD, Mansfield ISD, Grand Prairie ISD, Hurst-Euless-Bedford ISD, and Kennedale ISD. In Texas, school district boundaries do not always follow city and county boundaries because all aspects of school district government apparatus, including district boundaries, are separated from city and county governments. Not all city of Arlington residents are in the AISD, and not all AISD students are residents of Arlington. There are currently ten AISD high schools and dozens of private and public charter schools not affiliated with any ISDs.
