Summary:
The Newman International Academy Of Arlington district contains one high school, Newman International Academy Of Arlington Gibbins, a public charter school serving grades 7 through 12 with 476 students in a suburban area where about 26% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.
As the sole high school in the district, Newman International Academy Of Arlington Gibbins shows a clear split in academic performance. The school excels in science and English, consistently outperforming state averages by wide margins—for example, Biology proficiency reached 83.1% compared to the state's 62%, and English II Reading hit 82.35% versus 56.22%. However, mathematics is a significant weakness, with 7th-grade math proficiency dropping to just 12.96% in the most recent year, far below the state average of 29.41%. Algebra I EOC scores also lag behind the state. The school earned a 4-star rating and ranks in the 71st percentile statewide, though this is a drop from the 82nd percentile the previous year, indicating that other schools are improving faster.
Key metrics include a student-teacher ratio of 14.1, spending of $12,244 per student, and an exceptional 0.0% dropout rate. The most notable finding is the stark contrast between strong English and science results versus struggling math performance, especially in middle school grades. The dramatic 23-point drop in 7th-grade math from one year to the next suggests possible curriculum or instruction issues that need attention. While the school benefits from a lower-than-average economically disadvantaged population, its declining state ranking and inconsistent year-over-year scores—particularly in math—are important factors for parents to consider when evaluating the school's overall trajectory.
