Private & church schools in Arlington, Pantego & Dalworthington Gardens
Texas's largest suburb, home to UT Arlington and the entertainment district, plus the small enclave towns of Pantego and Dalworthington Gardens. Pantego Christian, Grace Preparatory, Burton Adventist, The Oakridge School and two diocesan parish schools make this the biggest private-school cluster on our map outside Fort Worth itself. We list 22 K-12 private schools here, and 18 of them were in the TEFA finder.
Where this comes from. We took each school's TEFA status from the Texas Education Freedom Accounts participating-school finder (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts) on October 12, 2026, and its enrollment, staff count and religious affiliation from the NCES Private School Survey (U.S. Department of Education). Tuition isn't reported to either one, so get today's rates from the school itself before counting on an award.
