Arlington Heights Elementary School

Summary:

Arlington Heights Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Bloomington, Indiana, with 332 students as of the 2022-2023 school year. It is part of the Monroe County Community School Corp, which is ranked 100 out of 381 districts in Indiana and has a 4-star rating.

Despite being part of a relatively high-performing district, Arlington Heights Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of Indiana elementary schools, with proficiency rates on state assessments that are significantly lower than the district and state averages. The school has a very high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 46% to 63% in recent years, which is much higher than the 13% rate at the nearby higher-performing Childs Elementary. Arlington Heights also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, ranging from 18% to 24% in recent years, compared to just 9% at Childs Elementary.

The stark performance gaps between Arlington Heights and nearby higher-performing schools like Childs Elementary and Marlin Elementary suggest a strong correlation between the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and its low academic performance. Additionally, the lower spending per student at Arlington Heights compared to the higher-performing nearby schools may indicate potential resource allocation challenges that could be impacting the school's ability to support student learning.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
