Summary:

The Arlington Independent School District (Isd) in Texas oversees 72 schools, including 52 elementary, 10 middle, and 10 high schools, serving a diverse student population across the Arlington area.

The district's standout schools are a study in contrasts. Arlington Collegiate High School and Arlington College And Career High School are top performers, ranking in the 96th and 91st percentiles statewide, respectively, with near-perfect graduation rates and test scores far exceeding district averages. In contrast, Venture Alter High School ranks in the 3rd percentile with a high dropout rate and extremely low proficiency. At the elementary level, Corey Fine Arts / Dual Language Academy and Butler Elementary are bright spots, ranking in the 89th and 88th percentiles, while Peach Elementary and Morton Elementary face significant challenges, ranking in the 5th and 3rd percentiles. Middle schools like Young J H and Ousley J H excel in advanced Algebra I coursework, a strong predictor of high school success.

Key metrics reveal a district ranking in the 30th percentile overall, with proficiency rates consistently below state averages. A notable finding is that higher per-student spending does not guarantee better outcomes; for instance, Venture Alter High School spends $16,727 per student while Arlington Collegiate High School spends only $6,870. Additionally, Thornton Elementary is a bright spot in a high-poverty area, showing remarkable improvement from the 4th to the 22nd percentile, suggesting effective interventions can make a tangible difference.
