About Arlington ISD

Arlington ISD serves 54,750 students across 75 schools in the Dallas–Fort Worth metro, making it one of the larger urban districts in Texas. The district's average school rating sits at 5.4 out of 10, which gives parents a useful baseline: scores above that mark signal schools outperforming the district norm, while the top-rated schools cluster meaningfully above it.

Martin High School leads the district with a 7.8 out of 10 — well above the 5.4 district average — and shares that top score with two strong elementary options. Corey Fine Arts / Dual Language Academy and Wimbish World Language Academy both earn 7.8 ratings at the elementary level, distinguishing themselves as the highest-performing schools in the entire district. Parents prioritizing early academic foundations have two standout choices, each with a specialized programmatic focus. Lamar High School follows closely at 7.7, and Seguin High School rounds out the upper tier at 7.4 — all three high schools clearing the district average by a significant margin.

The presence of dual-language and world-language programming at the elementary level is notable. Wimbish World Language Academy and Corey Fine Arts / Dual Language Academy offer structured language immersion alongside fine arts integration, giving families specialized pathways from an early age. These schools attract families seeking more than a standard curriculum track, and their ratings confirm the academic results back up the programming.

For parents comparing school options across 75 campuses, the rating spread matters. With an average of 5.4 across all ranked schools, the gap between a typical Arlington ISD campus and its top performers is substantial. Families willing to research attendance boundaries or pursue magnet or specialty applications can access schools that perform well above the district norm. Martin High School at 7.8 represents the ceiling, but four additional schools score 7.4 or higher — meaning strong options exist at both the elementary and high school levels. Digging into individual campus scores on MySchoolScout will help narrow the right fit by neighborhood and grade level.
