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.

I personally had a very good experience at J.R. Arnold High School. I went to state two times while on the soccer team and just won state and national champions in boys 5A soccer. I have also greatly progressed in school from taking advanced, honors, AP, AICE, and dual enrollment classes. I have also made so many friends and relationships with teachers and administrator. Overall I can confidently say that my time at J.R. Arnold High School has made me a better and more capable person in many ways.

I moved here from Italy last summer and in August I started my first year at Arnold H.S. as a Senior. My english was not very good and I didn't know anyone but, regardless that, I felt like I was at home. Every teacher was very welcoming and they always helped me with everything. I've also been in the swimming and wrestling team, and the level of professionalism and preparation of the coaches is incomparable with any other school.

In J.R. Arnold High School there have been many pros and cons to the atmosphere and academic environment. In my worst moments I was bullied by over 6 students at a time, teachers, and delt with extreme anxiety and depression. However, in my best moments due to Arnolds staff I was able to overcome my anxieties, bullies, and more. Additionally, Arnold let me join my local college for DE, pursue clubs, and form communities.

My experience with arnold was great aside from all of the staff. They never responded to emails, phone calls and getting in touch with the counselors was near impossible, she was ALWAYS "in a meeting" or "out for lunck" I waited in the office for multiple days without ever getting to speak with her.

Our child attended Arnold High School all 4 years. Most teachers were good, with a couple notable exceptions that emphasized liberal indoctrination rather than teaching their curriculum. The largest problems with this school is poor communication coupled with administrators who are "by the book" wit...
