The staff at this school care about your students academic success. The school has a curriculum coach that supports the teachers with resources and more. The leadership works daily to make sure the operations of the school is on point or better. The school doors are locked to help with safety. I gave this school five stars for the following:Increased student learning and desire to achieve at high standards;Decreased negative behavior incidents and dropout rates;Increased school satisfaction and motivation;Increased sense of student self efficacy;Improved positive attitudes toward school; andImproved student social-emotional skills, such as caring, empathy, social responsibility.

Seriously? I cant believe there would even be an area of rating for this school as bad as it is. The 4 should say it all. My child attends this school because of our district, and weve had nothing but PROBLEMS! The teachers could care less and come to work as if it were a fashion show. Wake-up its not about how you look , but about our kids education! The staff is very unfriendly, the bend the rules based on who you are, its ridiculous. I would NEVER recomend this this school for anyone and really think it needs to be SHUT DOWN! When it comes to kleadership, there is none. When it comes to education, there is none. And when it comes to compassion, there is none! Worst school ive ever been to or involved in.

I am a parent to two kids that attend arrington middle school ,I will say that there is some promblems with this school.That start with coming through the front door ,I was there two weeks ago ringing door bell to get in it took about 10 min before a student headed to open the door and a teacher stopped the kid and got on to her ,while I was still standing outside,the teacher finally opened the door,she wasnt nice at all would not say hello, but that is about half the people that i have seen including the principle,i think to have a school it start with the head, i will not rate the school but i am in the process of removing my child.
