Summary:
The city of Arlington, Arizona has only one public school serving grades PK-8, Arlington Elementary School. This school, which is part of the Arlington Elementary District, faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance across multiple subjects and grade levels compared to state averages.
Arlington Elementary School serves a predominantly Hispanic student population (64.87%), with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (62.72%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This economic disadvantage may contribute to the school's academic struggles, which are evident in proficiency rates ranging from 13% in 5th grade science to 39% in 4th grade mathematics, well below the state averages. The school's district is also ranked 325 out of 540 school districts in Arizona and has a 2-out-of-5-star rating, suggesting systemic challenges that may be impacting the school's performance.
Despite the school's low academic performance, it has reported a 0.0% dropout rate, indicating that students are remaining enrolled. However, the combination of economic disadvantage, low academic achievement, and potential district-level challenges suggests that Arlington Elementary School requires targeted interventions, additional resources, and a deeper examination of the factors contributing to its performance in order to improve learning outcomes for its students.
