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.

I think the and worst part of AHS is the small community it resides in which brings both good and bad. It's great as a student athlete because we get tons of support from the community but also it can create a lack of diversity as well as a very strong set of predetermined social circles.

I have gone through the Arlington school district for all of my schooling. Arlington High School has been no different then the rest, the environment is friendly, the classes are what you expect and our clubs and activities are honestly amazing. Our classes have a variety of range from easy to absolutely complicated, with teachers who know what they are talking about as well. Our teachers have been the backbone to our education, and to our emotional and mental development. Our teachers truly care about how we grow up as human beings and what we will become in our future. Our clubs and activities truly go above and beyond with inclusion and team appreciation, making us seem more as a family then just a group of high school students. Now i will say, personally I don't like our administrative staff, but they do everything they can to keep us in a safe environment and on track to graduate, I just have personal beef. They make the school seem like a prison half the time.

I've had 2 daughters go through the Arlington School system and overall, I am happy with the results. AHS has an amazing arts program. Both of my kids have been involved in Drama, Choir and Band and all those programs are beyond expectation and gets an A. Academically, I'd give it a B-. Certainly no...

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...
