Summary:
In zip code 76013, there is one high school, Arlington High School, serving grades 9 through 12 with a large enrollment of 2,580 students in the Arlington Independent School District (Isd).
Arlington High School has a state ranking in the 40th percentile, which has remained stable for three years, placing it in the bottom half of Texas high schools. The school's graduation rate is 85.3%, slightly below the district average of 87.0%, but its dropout rate of 3.2% is significantly higher than the district's 2.1%—a 52% higher rate. Academically, the school shows a mixed performance: it outperforms the district in Biology, English I, English II, and U.S. History, but struggles notably in Algebra I, where only 25.47% of students are proficient, far below the state average of 54.03%. The school serves a predominantly low-income population, with 65.89% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, and has a student-teacher ratio of 16.2:1 with spending per student at $9,293.
The most critical finding is the severe underperformance in Algebra I, which is a foundational subject and a major red flag for math instruction. While the school shows relative strength in non-math subjects compared to the district, the stagnant state ranking and high dropout rate suggest a need for strategic changes rather than incremental improvements. The school's ability to lift students above district averages in several subjects is a positive sign, but the Algebra I crisis and retention issues require focused attention to improve overall outcomes.
