Arlington Heights High School

Summary:

Arlington Heights High School is a public high school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving grades 9-12 and part of the Fort Worth Independent School District. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority of Hispanic and African American students.

While Arlington Heights High School has a relatively high four-year graduation rate, it consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages on STAAR End-of-Course exams, with only 5.18% of students proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to 20.28% for the district and 44.73% for the state. The school also has a higher dropout rate and a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families. When compared to nearby schools like Paschal High School, Arlington Heights High School performs significantly worse on academic measures, despite serving a similar student population.

The presence of specialized schools like the Transition Center and Juvenile Justice Alternative Educational Program in close proximity to Arlington Heights High School suggests that the school may be serving a higher proportion of students with unique educational needs or behavioral challenges, which could impact its overall performance. Additionally, the relatively high spending per student at Arlington Heights High School compared to the district average, coupled with the school's underperformance, raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources to support student learning.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
