Arlington High Lacks Space for Modern Programs
Arlington High School faces space shortages after NEASSC evaluators found the building attractive yet inadequate for a modern well rounded program. Recommendations call for additional classrooms and facilities for science, business, home economics, music, library expansion, and staff prep areas, with emphasis on new lab spaces and proper ventilation. The report notes commendable staff effort, low dropout rate, and strong curriculum in math, language, and vocational training.
