The Newman International At Cedar Hill alternative school has the highest graduation rate (98.1%) and lowest dropout rate (0.3%) in the district.
While the district as a whole is average, there is a wide range of performance across the individual schools. Many schools excel in reading proficiency but lag behind in math, pointing to a need to focus on improving math instruction and outcomes. The schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates tend to have lower test scores, suggesting potential equity issues in resource allocation. The large variation in spending per student, from $7,663 to $18,713, also raises questions about how resources are being allocated and whether higher spending is translating to better outcomes. Overall, the Newman International Academy of Arlington district has a mix of high-performing and struggling schools, with significant room for improvement, particularly in math and for the schools serving the most economically disadvantaged students.
