Summary

Arlington High School is a large grades 9–12 public school serving about 1,650 students in Arlington, Washington, a community north of the Seattle metropolitan area. It is part of the Arlington School District, which ranks in the 68th percentile statewide. The school ranks in the 78th percentile statewide and recently improved to 89th out of 396 Washington schools, earning four stars.

For families, Arlington’s strongest results are graduation, English Language Arts, and science. The 2024–2025 graduation rate was 90.5%, above both the district’s 88.5% and Washington’s 82.6%; its dropout rate was 6.5%, below the district and state rates. In 2025–2026, 70.13% of students were proficient in ELA and 59.42% in science, both comfortably above state and district results. Arlington had the strongest published ELA and science results among nearby traditional high schools, outperforming Granite Falls High School, Lakewood High School, Marysville Getchell High School, and Marysville Pilchuck High School in those measures.

Mathematics is the clearest area for improvement. Arlington’s 2025–2026 math proficiency rate was 37.47%, below the state’s 43.11%, although it improved from 31.01% in 2023–2024 and exceeded the published results of nearby traditional schools. Arlington’s larger size makes these outcomes notable: its student-teacher ratio was 23.2, higher than at Granite Falls and Marysville Pilchuck, while spending was moderate at $16,934 per student. Alternative programs such as Arlington Open Doors, Weston High School, and Crossroads High School serve different student populations and are not direct comparisons. Overall, Arlington appears to be a strong regional comprehensive high school, with especially encouraging recent gains and a continued need to strengthen mathematics.
