AHS is the best choice for a multitude of reasons. Although, AHS is the oldest high school in Arlington, it is the best to prepare our kids for the real world that faces them. The diversity is something to be proud of, all socio-economic groups, ethninticities, and cultures can be found along with tremendous educational opportunities. All 4 of my children have or still attend, and our experience with each has been good. The staff is dedicated and truly concerned about their students. Regardless of their drastically different interests and aptitudes there was more than enough options for each of them. I would highly recommend AHS to all parents regardless of your district. My kids are transfered to AHS, it doesn't matter what part of Arlington you live in, AHS is the best choice.

I sent my daughter to AHS and four years later, she is graduating with two degrees - BA and a BS from TCU with a 3.97 GPA. At AHS, she saw a cross section of the world and her public school education is evidently equal or better than the 15K a year my extended family wastes on private HS. Public school is what you put into it.
I am a parent of Arlington High Grad & an upcoming 2009 graduate. My kids loved AHS. In fact, our family almost relocated in 2003 but stayed in Arlington so that my youngest could graduate from the same high school as their sibling. Lots of parent involvement in a great PTA, great Booster clubs & wonderful teachers with heart. High School is as much what the kids put into it as the teachers. No school is perfect. AHS has traditions & spirit in abundance. True it is not the fanciest school in Arlington but it is the most well rounded in social and academic achievements.
