By Mariela Lovo Ol, REALTOR® · Updated

Duncanville, TX school ratings start with one district. Duncanville ISD serves the city. Here is its official state rating and how campus assignment and choice programs work. You will also see how to confirm the school for any address.

Which school district serves Duncanville?

Duncanville ISD serves the City of Duncanville. Duncanville High School sits on one large campus in the center of the city. The district handles enrollment, campus lookups and program applications.

One district serves the city, so the district on the appraisal record is usually clear. Still, confirm the campus for each address. Attendance zones can differ street by street.

What is Duncanville ISD's TEA rating?

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) gives A–F ratings each year. In the 2026 ratings, Duncanville ISD's overall district rating is C, with a score of 72.

That is a district result. Campus ratings vary. They are posted on TXschools.gov, where you can look up any school.

How does school assignment work in Duncanville ISD?

Duncanville ISD assigns campuses by address. Its online School Finder shows the school for a given address. The district also has choice programs you can apply to, and a way to request a transfer.

Charter schools are another public option. You apply to them on their own, and TEA posts their ratings too. Nearby districts in the Best Southwest area have their own rules if you are comparing cities.

How do you verify the school for a Duncanville address?

Check the school for any address with the district itself. Use the School Finder or call the enrollment office. Check again before closing, since zones and programs can change. If you move mid-year, ask the enrollment office what papers it needs to register a new address.
