You've heard that Arlington, VA has the most highly-educated workforce in the nation, but that commitment to quality education starts at the youngest of ages. Arlington Public Schools (APS) is ranked #2 in the Commonwealth, and 86% of high school graduates go on to further their education — many of whom have already completed several college-level courses while still in high school.
Arlington Public Schools are also a global experience. Our students hail from 149 nations around the globe and speak 90 languages. Arlington prides itself on providing a quality education that not only eliminates achievement gaps but also prepares our youngest residents for the incredible career opportunities that await them as adults.
