Arlington Elementary School

Summary:

Arlington Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lexington, Kentucky, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 301 students. The school is part of the Fayette County School District, which is ranked 77 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the resources it receives, Arlington Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Kentucky elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school struggles across various student subgroups, with below-average performance for male students, Hispanic students, low-income students, English Language Learners, and students with disabilities. Its test scores are significantly lower than the Fayette County and Kentucky state averages, with only 12% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 46% in Fayette County and 43% statewide.

When compared to nearby schools in the Fayette County district, Ashland Elementary School, located just 1.47 miles away, is a high-performing school with a 5-star rating and significantly higher test scores. The high percentage of students from low-income families and the school's low rankings for subgroups suggest that socioeconomic and demographic factors may be contributing to the school's poor academic performance. Despite the high per-student spending, the resources have not translated into improved outcomes, indicating a need for a comprehensive improvement plan that addresses the root causes of the academic challenges.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
