In Texas, school district boundaries do not always follow city and county boundaries because all aspects of the school district government apparatus, including school district boundaries, are separated from the city and county government. In the case of Dalworthington Gardens, no Independent School District was ever established. The proximity of the already established Arlington ISD lead to the entirety of Dalworthington Gardens being served by the AISD since the middle of the 20th century.
Pantego Christian Academy is a popular and large private school in the neighboring town of Pantego.
