The split is small, and it is still a split

97.9% of the single-family accounts fall in Lake Worth ISD. The other 2.1%, 38 accounts, are in Eagle Mountain-Saginaw ISD, so a Lake Worth address is not automatically a Lake Worth ISD address. The roll identifies the district that taxes the account, not the campus. Confirm the attendance zone by address with the district.

Fourteen to twenty-two minutes

Roberts Cut Off Rd is the route from Lake Worth city center to the Main Gate approach at the north end of Pumphrey Dr. On a Monday 7:00 AM departure, fourteen minutes is typical and twenty-two is the worst, over 6.8 miles. The ID check at the gate comes on top of that.

The Main Gate is staffed 24/7. The East Gate is open weekdays and drill weekends, 0600-0800 and 1500-1700, and closed on holidays; it is an hours option only, with no drive time measured to it. For comparison, the same city-center check from River Oaks is 4 to 7 minutes and 2.3 miles.

Allowance versus the payment estimate

Full BAH as shown applies to active-duty members and full-time reservists (AGR/TAR). Drilling reservists on orders of fewer than 30 days generally receive the lower BAH-RC/T rate instead. This site does not show BAH-RC/T figures because none have been pulled from an official source. Other grades are on the 2026 BAH page.

This is an estimate, not a loan quote, priced at the TAD 2026 median market value of $203,000.

Total: principal and interest $1,419 + tax $370 + insurance $291 + HOA/MUD $0 = $2,079 a month (pieces rounded separately; unrounded total $2,079.14).

2026 full BAH with dependents (TX356) versus the estimate
Grade Full BAH with dependents Versus the $2,079 estimate
E-5 $2,118 $39 above the estimate
E-6 $2,424 $345 above the estimate
O-3 $2,460 $381 above the estimate

Who these facts suit

Lake Worth fits someone who will take the longest city-center commute of the five, 14 to 22 minutes, in exchange for newer houses and a lower total rate than River Oaks at a similar median ($203,000 against $199,000). Check the district on the specific address.

It fits less well if the short drive matters most (River Oaks is 4 to 7 minutes) or if one district across the whole city matters (River Oaks is 100% Castleberry ISD).
