Mansfield ISD School District

Mansfield ISD serves 35,851 students across 48 schools in the Dallas-Fort Worth suburbs, making it one of the larger districts in the region. With 47 of those schools earning a ranked score, the district averages 6.5 out of 10 — a solid baseline that reflects consistent performance across a wide range of campuses rather than a handful of outliers pulling the numbers up.

The district's top performer is Mansfield Frontier STEM Academy, rated 8.4 out of 10. It stands as the clearest standout among the district's high schools and signals a real investment in science, technology, engineering, and math programming at the secondary level. Close behind it, Willie Brown Academy and Nancy Neal Elementary both score 8.2 out of 10 on the elementary side, giving families with younger children strong options with demonstrated academic results. Those scores put all three campuses well above the district average, which matters when evaluating where individual schools sit relative to their peers within Mansfield ISD itself.

At the high school level, parents have multiple competitive options. Mansfield Timberview High School matches the 8.2 rating held by the top elementary schools, and Mansfield Lake Ridge High School follows at 8.1. That clustering near the top of the scale — four schools rated 8.1 or higher — suggests the district isn't relying on a single flagship campus to carry its reputation. Strength is spread across grade bands and across different parts of the district.

For parents comparing Mansfield ISD against neighboring districts, the 6.5 average across 47 ranked schools is the number to watch. A district this size often sees its average dragged down by a few underperforming campuses, so the spread between the lowest-ranked schools and the top tier matters as much as the average itself. Families prioritizing STEM programming or strong elementary options will find several campuses worth a closer look, particularly Frontier STEM Academy and the two 8.2-rated elementary schools. Touring individual campuses and reviewing campus-level data remains the most reliable step before making a final decision.
