Summary

Seguin High School in Arlington, TX, is a large comprehensive high school in the Arlington Independent School District (Isd) serving 1,554 students in grades 9-12, where over 71% of students come from low-income households. The school’s most impressive strength is its ability to keep students on track to graduate, boasting a 92.2% graduation rate and a remarkably low 1.0% dropout rate—both significantly better than the district averages and even rivaling higher-performing schools like Mansfield High School and Mansfield Timberview High School, despite serving a more economically challenged population.

However, Seguin presents a clear paradox: while it excels at student retention, it struggles with academic proficiency, especially in math. Only 17.61% of students are proficient in Algebra I, a rate far below the district average and a third of the state average. This is a stark contrast to nearby Mansfield Summit High School, which has a similar percentage of low-income students but achieves a 66.5% proficiency rate in Algebra I. On a positive note, Seguin shows relative strength in other subjects, with proficiency rates in Biology (64.49%), English I (50%), English II (51.47%), and U.S. History (66.43%) all exceeding the district average.

The school also stands out for its exceptional work with English Language Learner (ELL) students, ranking in the 81st percentile statewide for this subgroup and earning a 4-star rating—a top-tier performance that far exceeds its overall school ranking. Conversely, the school struggles to challenge its highest-achieving students, ranking in the 8th percentile for Gifted and Talented students, and has seen volatile performance for Special Education students. Overall, Seguin is a school with strong support systems that keep students in school, but families should be aware of the significant challenges in math proficiency and the need for stronger academic preparation in that area.

Open Quote I loved going to Seguin High School when I was a student there. (class of 2011) I transferred to Seguin from Martin and I'm really glad that I did. This school is really diverse whether it be with the students, academics, athletics, and even the clubs. Seguin has great support systems for students to get into college and even to help them pass regular classes. This school is Arlington's Diamond in the Rough. If I still live in Arlington in the future, I'm going to have my kids go to Seguin. Close Quote
