Burleson ISD serves most of the city with about 12,621 students across 20 campuses. The district holds a B accountability rating from the Texas Education Agency for the 2024-2025 cycle. Here is the part that surprises buyers. Parts of Burleson are zoned to Joshua ISD, Everman ISD, or Mansfield ISD, not Burleson ISD. Two houses on the same road can feed different districts. If school zoning is driving your decision, say that on the first call. It changes which streets are even worth touring. Before You Move Here ## Questions people ask before they move here. ### Is Burleson a good place to live? Yes, and the growth figure says it louder than an agent can. Burleson added 19.5% more residents since the 2020 census, reaching about 56,907. It sits 15 miles south of downtown Fort Worth, homeownership runs 72.1%, and Burleson ISD holds a B rating from the Texas Education Agency. ### What school district serves Burleson? Burleson ISD serves most of the city, with about 12,621 students across 20 campuses and a TEA accountability rating of B. Parts of Burleson also fall inside Joshua ISD, Everman ISD, and Mansfield ISD, so confirm the zoning for a specific address before you fall in love with it. ### How far is Burleson from downtown Fort Worth? About 15 miles straight up I-35W, which is roughly a 22-minute drive outside of rush hour. That commute is the main reason Burleson keeps absorbing people who work in Fort Worth. ### Are there a lot of veterans in Burleson? Yes. The Census Bureau counts about 2,820 veterans living in Burleson, and NAS Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base is 23 miles away. It is a genuinely military-friendly town, not just a marketing line. ### What is the housing market doing in Burleson right now? Zillow measured a $340,650 median sale price in May 2026, with its Home Value Index down 1.3% year over year and median days to pending at 25. That is a friendlier environment for buyers than 2022 and a demanding one for sellers who overprice. Free Download ## Moving to the DFW area? Start with the free relocation guide.
