Arlington High School

I have to agree with the other post, administrative staff is horrible... very rude. It seems they hate their jobs? Yes, the school is beautiful on the outside, but don't be fooled.. the administrative staff that inhabits the inside is horrible! Invest in a private school if budget allows for it, those are teachers and staff who care!

I'm a student at Arlington Highschool and I feel the responsibility to refute any claims of poor academic standards. I moved to the school from Northeast England (I'm not a native of England and i was raised in the U.S.) in my sophomore year. Academically i am challenged. Although the school's facilities are astounding, along with the human capital involved in educating students, they do not determine the level of education your child may recieve. They are simply tools to be put to use by students and parents alike, to achieve the level of education they expect. So, the hard fact is; the faults you find in the school, are really just faults in your decision making.

I'll have to agree with the Sept. 10 poster's comments. My experience with the administration at the school has indeed been dismal. They are rude and act annoyed that parents dare to be interested in their student's education. They are practically impossible to contact. They will not return telephone calls, emails. Attempts to try to obtain information from the school are futile, the telephone system is an endless useless maze of options and telephone mailboxes that have not been 'set-up.' When you become frustrated with the phone system and go there in person, you are treated rudely and ignored. There seems to be a total lack of leadership from the top down. People are not doing their jobs and don't appear to be held responsible. Aside from the poor administration, the teachers seem to be adequate and the school facilities are nice. The school has become rapidly overcrowded.

Don't let the exterior fool you, AHS looks like the perfect school, some even think it is a private school. The administrators don't care about student safety or about educational success. They want parental involvement for volunteering and for fund raising, especially for fund raising, but they do not want you involved where it counts, your child's education. However, the majority of teachers there are very good, you just can't get past the administration if you have a question or concern.
