The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Arlington High School was a great school with many kids going there across three different middle schools to one place. It was a heck of four years 2020 to 2024 great teachers great learner abilities did well during COVID 19. Transitioned us well during school and it was super diverse and a lot of people knew each other only problem it is getting pretty crowded and we need more teachers there sooner or later.

My experience with Arlington High School has overall been a positive experience for me. My best part of my experience was taking college classes while enrolled in the high school and being exposed to college curriculum before I get to college. Also, we have a wide range of clubs and activities that cater to everyone.

Transferred to this school during my Senior year of high school and was extremely disappointed. This school is as shallow as they come, they're a typical jock school. They only care about their athletic programs and don't concern themselves with the actual quality of the education they provide. The...

One of the highest funded schools, yet their pupils fail basic exams for mathematics, chemistry, physics. Is that a new "low" for science or what? But surely enough, children's PE scores are very high. Had to move out of this place simply because of the schools. Disgusting experience. The place we r...
