Summary

Great Hearts Arlington is a K-10 alternative charter school in Arlington, TX, serving 998 students as part of the top-rated Great Hearts Texas district. The school stands out for its exceptional high school performance, particularly in English Language Arts, where it dramatically outperforms state averages—with 91.43% of students proficient in English II compared to the state's 56.22%—and also excels in Biology (71.79% proficient) and U.S. History (70% proficient).

What makes Great Hearts Arlington unique is its "J-curve" trajectory: students typically underperform in elementary grades (especially in math, where only about 35% of 3rd and 4th graders are proficient) but show remarkable acceleration starting in 7th grade, ultimately surpassing state averages in high school. This pattern is particularly noteworthy when compared to nearby Treetops School International, which achieves similar high school results but serves a student population with far fewer students qualifying for free/reduced lunch (7% vs. Great Hearts' 48.4%). The school also maintains a very low dropout rate of 0.5%, well below the district average of 2.0%.

However, parents should be aware of significant challenges in elementary grades. Fifth-grade science is a persistent weak point, with only 13.64% of students proficient in 2024-2025 compared to the state's 29.57%. Math performance is also inconsistent, with 6th-grade proficiency dropping from 60.53% to 34.62% between school years. While the school's secondary program clearly delivers strong results, families with younger children may want to investigate how the school plans to address these foundational gaps, particularly in elementary math and science instruction.
