Better than 71% of Texas high schools

Summary

Newman International Academy Of Arlington Gibbins is a public charter high school in Arlington, TX, serving 476 students in grades 7-12 as part of the Newman International Academy Of Arlington district, and it stands out as a high-performing alternative in an area where many traditional public high schools struggle.

This school consistently earns a 4-star rating from Schooldigger, placing it in the top 30% of Texas high schools. This is a stark contrast to nearby schools like Sam Houston High School, Arlington High School, and Lamar High School, which all rank in the bottom 40% of the state. Newman International Academy excels in core subjects like Biology, English, and U.S. History, with proficiency rates that consistently beat state averages. It is particularly strong at supporting English Language Learners, who rank in the 91st percentile statewide. The school also has a very low dropout rate and a favorable student-teacher ratio of about 14:1.

However, there are important considerations for parents. Mathematics is a clear area of concern, with 7th-grade math proficiency at just 12.96% and Algebra I proficiency below the state average. Additionally, while the school is excellent for many students, its performance for Gifted and Talented students is more average, ranking in the 56th percentile. The school's economic demographics have also shifted significantly, with the percentage of students eligible for free or reduced lunch dropping from about 54% to 26% in one year, which is much lower than nearby schools like Uplift Summit Prep High School (76%). This context is helpful when comparing its high performance to schools with higher poverty rates.

What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, February 27, 2023

This school has many concerning issues that need immediate attention. Parents need to voice our concerns with the Texas Legislators, because this district is corrupt and has serious problems.
1. Conflict of interest: School administrators should not be on the Board of Directors. The superintendent also serves as a board member which is a huge conflict of interest. The BOD should stand separately, this is why our concerns are never heard.
2. Students are retaliated against when a parent speaks up about concerns.
3. Students are not fed for up to 6 hours on certain days.
4. Students who are on IEPs become targets.
5. Lunch is prepackaged and sits for hours in heating bags.
The school has gone downhill since the new principals have started. They only serve as referees between students and teacher.
Please help the parents have a voice! Too many issues that result in conflict for our children. Close Quote
