The best part of my high school career was ASB and soccer. I learned so many lessons from ASB about how to be a strong leader. It has prepared me for real life scenarios and I'm very grateful to have been part of such and amazing program. Soccer has given me structure and helped me stay balanced throughout high school. I'm going on to play soccer in college and I'm thankful for my soccer journey at Arlington being a captain for 3 years was another great example of how to be a leader. We faced adversity but we always bounced back. The worst part of my experience were some of the drama I was in and how my teachers handled it but that didn't define my experience.

It's kind of a small school where everyone knows everyone but not to the exact of being close to each other and still people disliking each other. Teachers are a great support but most don't really care. They offer help to students as far as mental help but don't advertise for it enough so students didn't know how to ask

In Arlington I loved the amount of resources they had for students struggling and the amount of staff and teachers there were that helped students who struggle mentally. Although one thing I do not like is how when a student goes to a counsel to confine in them with mental struggles they tell their parents. I personally think that they should not be told about this unless they feel like the child is in danger. It breaks the trust the child has in adults because they think they can't trust anyone anymore. I hope this can be improved where both the parents and child can be happy.

This is my son's first experience with public school. It was rough at first but that is just him getting to know people. He got involved in sports and felt at home. Arlington is slowly getting back to normal like the rest of the surrounding high schools. So the atmosphere and school spirit are up. T...

When i transferred to this school I genuinely thought that i would have the best 3 year experience at this high school, but turns out i was wrong.

I rate this school from my experience and that would be a 10/10. Both my daughters attend this school; one a cheerleader and the other ROTC. They both love this school. Parents need to rate these schools.......

This school is horrible. I graduated from here two years ago and I'm now at university. I came in to uni thinking that I would be well prepared and boy was I wrong. My peers were semesters ahead of me in science classes and I quickly realized that I knew absolutely nothing of basic math and physics....
