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.

I am a very focused student and I have found that all the classes I've chosen have been just the right amount of challenging and they have a good level workload. The teachers all seem motivated and excited to teach and that's really what keeps me going to school each day.

I enjoyed my time at Arlington High School. I had some difficult to deal with teachers that have recently retired. I have had a lot of fantastic teachers that I hope my younger sister is able to also have as a teacher.

I recently transferred to AHS from a small religious school, here is my "new student" experience: The students are mostly white upper-middle class, there is a strong "preppy" social group, as well a good-size band group and a decent-size "church kid" group. AHS is very racially segregated: the Afric...
