Summary

Arlington High School is a large, comprehensive public high school serving about 1,650 students in grades 9-12 within the Arlington School District, offering a traditional high school experience in the region.

The school has significant strengths, particularly in its consistently high graduation rate, which has been above 90% and outperforms both the district and state. Academically, it excels in English Language Arts and Science compared to many nearby schools like Marysville Getchell High School and Marysville Pilchuck High School. However, math proficiency is an area for growth, though it's important to note this is a common challenge across the area, as schools such as Lakewood High School and Weston High School show similar struggles.

When compared to alternative schools in the area that serve different student populations, such as Arlington Open Doors or Marysville NWESD 189 Youth Engagement, Arlington High's outcomes in graduation and test scores are notably stronger. The school achieves these results with moderate per-student spending, operating efficiently at its large size. While its statewide ranking has declined in recent years from previous higher performance, it remains a solid, graduation-focused option that leads the Arlington School District in core academic subjects.
