Arlington Heights High School has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Texas high schools, with a 1-star rating as well.

For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 7.22% of students were proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to 22.7% for the district and 47.01% statewide.

Compared to nearby high schools, Paschal High School outperforms Arlington Heights on most academic metrics, graduation rates, and student demographics. Success High School, a smaller alternative school, also outperforms Arlington Heights despite serving a more disadvantaged student population. The relatively low spending per student at Arlington Heights, around $9,400-$9,700, combined with its underperformance, suggests the school may be struggling to provide adequate resources and support for its students.
