Summary

Mansfield Summit High School in Arlington, TX, is a large comprehensive high school serving 1,772 students in grades 9-12 as part of the highly-rated Mansfield Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the top 22% of districts statewide.

The most compelling story at Mansfield Summit is its dramatic recent improvement. After several years of stagnant performance, the school jumped 19 percentile points to the 60th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year, a trend not seen in its district peers like Mansfield High School or Mansfield Legacy High School. This improvement is especially notable given that nearly 68% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, the highest rate among the district's comprehensive high schools. Despite this challenge, the school's economically disadvantaged students rank in the 67th percentile statewide, showing the school is effectively adding value. The school also excels with specific student groups: Hispanic students rank in the 72nd percentile and English Language Learners rank in the 73rd percentile, a massive jump from the 40th percentile the prior year. However, Algebra I proficiency remains a key weakness at 66.5%, nearly 9 percentage points below the district average, and the graduation rate of 93.1% is the lowest among district peers.

Compared to nearby schools, Mansfield Summit significantly outperforms Seguin High School in the Arlington Independent School District (Isd), which has a similar poverty rate but where Algebra I proficiency is nearly four times lower. While Summit is the lowest-ranked of the four comprehensive high schools in its district, its recent upward trajectory and strong subgroup performance suggest effective interventions are taking hold, making it a school to watch for continued growth.

Open Quote Amazing school in mansfield. not ghetto, diverse! Close Quote


by a parent
Thursday, January 30, 2014

Open Quote This school was once a great school, but is slowly turning into "the hood". Fights abound in the hallways and parking lots, a theft ring stole over 60 Ipads last year, leaving many parents with a hefty fine. The school bookkeeper told those of us impacted it could be paid in two payments of 260.00 each, or our kids would not have books. ( This is in violation of Texas State law) It's not uncommon to see kids walking the halls or milling around in front of attendance with family members "hanging out". The dress code obviously means nothing, as I've seen girls in mini-skirts, high heels, with tattoos showing, or kids with house shoes and warm-ups.

The administration is challenging, they can pass a buck better than anyone I've ever known, and if you have a real problem, issue or concern with your child better get ready to do a fair amount of phone tag and transfer. I once spent well over a week trying to get a simple issue settled. In all, I most likely spoke to six people who were all supposed to "handle" my issue. One son had a teacher with anger issues, who would go off on him when he did not understand Math. I ended up going to the school board, because no one would address my issue at Summitt. One would think he would be taken out of this class. Nope not at all. The teacher continued to work there, and my son was stuck in his class.

If your kids are AP students and high achievers academically, they will most likely avoid the "bad kids" and get a fairly decent education. ( This is from my former summitt high kid, who is now at UT.) If not, get far far away. It's not worth the high tax burden. Close Quote
