Arlington Elementary School

Summary:

Arlington Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 345 students in grades PK-6 in Arlington, Nebraska, which is part of the Douglas County West Community Schools district, ranked 42 out of 212 districts in the state.

Arlington Elementary School consistently outperforms the state and its local district in academic proficiency, with 84% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA and Math in 2022-2023, compared to state averages of 63% and 58% respectively. This trend continues in higher grades, with 6th graders achieving 90% proficiency in Math, well above the state's 57%. However, the school has a significantly more homogeneous student population, with 92.68% of students identifying as White, in contrast to the more diverse student bodies of nearby schools like Washington Elementary (79.48% Hispanic) and Milliken Park Elementary (51.2% Hispanic). Additionally, Arlington Elementary has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (22.03%) compared to the surrounding Fremont Public Schools, which range from 66.12% to 81.3%.

The consistent academic excellence of Arlington Elementary School, coupled with its relatively homogeneous and more affluent student population, presents both opportunities and challenges for the school and the broader community. While the school's performance is remarkable, the stark contrast in racial diversity and socioeconomic status compared to nearby schools raises questions about the factors contributing to these differences and the potential implications for the educational experiences of students.

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.
