Summary:
Arlington, Indiana is home to a single public elementary school, Arlington Elementary School, which serves grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 140 students. While the school's academic performance is generally below state and Rush County Schools district averages, it shows some bright spots, such as its 3rd grade English Language Arts and Math scores that exceed the district and state benchmarks.
Arlington Elementary School has a student population that is predominantly White (95%), which is not representative of the state's overall student demographics. The school also has a high percentage of students (60.71%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population. Despite these challenges, the school's per-student spending and student-teacher ratio are favorable compared to state averages, suggesting that the district is allocating resources to support the school.
However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 13.5% is higher than the state average, which may be a contributing factor to its academic performance. Examining the school's performance over the past few years reveals fluctuations in test scores, suggesting the need for a more in-depth analysis to identify the root causes of these changes and develop strategies for sustained improvement.
