Summary:
The Arlington School District in Washington state is home to three high schools: Arlington High School, Weston High School, and Arlington Open Doors. While Arlington High School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, the smaller Weston High School and Arlington Open Doors face significant challenges in terms of academic outcomes and student support.
Arlington High School is the largest of the three, with 1,661 students and a 91.2% four-year graduation rate, outperforming the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Science test scores. In contrast, Weston High School and Arlington Open Doors struggle with much lower graduation rates of 58.8% and 12.5%, respectively, as well as higher dropout rates. These smaller schools also underperform the district and state in academic assessments.
The data reveals significant disparities in resource allocation and student demographics across the three high schools. Weston High School and Arlington Open Doors serve a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 59.68% and 67.39% of their students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, respectively. This, coupled with the lower academic performance, raises concerns about equity and the need for targeted interventions to support these schools and their students.
