GreatSchools Rating
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 is a pretty decent school. Sure it's not the best at anything really, but the teachers are pretty solid and it offers quite a lot of classes, including, college level courses you can get college credit in. This has been a godsend for me as I've been able to complete 7 college courses before graduating. The school has a bit of a lean towards it's sports and arts departments, but I've had a decent experience even without being part of either of those programs.

Arlington High School offers strong academics and a large selection of classes compared to other schools its size. Building is brand new, though some facilities are compromised. Offers excellent student resources such as social workers, guidance counselors, and extra-help teachers to students to need, who are well-trained and easily accessible to students.

I loved most of my teachers. I basically enjoyed each class I took, and at the end of the AP courses I was able to excel on the exams. I was pretty satisfied with the school lunch, especially since it was free. I found clubs and cool people that aligned with my interests, and I am very happy that I went there. They just built a new school so the facilities, which I am not familiar with, should be very nice.

2/10 I honestly hated it here, most teachers were prejudice to me because I am not white, and administrators would do nothing about it.

Other than an atrocious math teacher and a big bully it was great.
