how short a commute--
Mid-Cities Hurst/Bedford/Euless/NRichland Hills--maybe Wautaga/Saginaw that are in Birdville ISD
Fort Worth itself has some areas that are safe and have good schools---Paschal HS/Doggett middle and elem/Tanglewood Elem--Paschal HS is the best hs in FTW and one of the top 5 in Tarrant county for students who are college-bound--
will PM an MLS site that has good school info and map for you to do search
