Arlington Elementary

Summary:

Arlington Elementary is a public elementary school in Baltimore, Maryland, serving 469 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Baltimore City Public Schools district, which is ranked 24th out of 25 districts in Maryland and has a 0-star rating.

Arlington Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Maryland elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance, as measured by state test scores, is significantly below the state and district averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts across all grade levels. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 10.9% of Arlington Elementary students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 24.1% statewide and 10.2% in the Baltimore City Public Schools district. Similarly, only 21.7% of Arlington Elementary students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 48.4% statewide and 27.7% in the district. The school's performance has been consistently low, with minimal improvement over the past several years.

The challenges faced by Arlington Elementary are not unique, as nearby schools such as Creative City Public Charter School, Dr. Nathan A. Pitts-Ashburton Elementary/Middle, and Liberty Elementary also perform poorly on academic measures, with test scores below state and district averages. These schools serve similar student populations, with high percentages of economically disadvantaged and minority students, suggesting that the issues facing Arlington Elementary may be indicative of broader systemic challenges within the Baltimore City Public Schools district.

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.
