Summary

Arlington Elementary School is a public K-8 school in Toledo, Ohio, part of the Toledo City School District. With 314 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Ohio elementary schools over the past decade, earning a 0 or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Arlington Elementary faces significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates (38.5% to 42.6%) and extremely low academic achievement. On state assessments, only 34.8% of 3rd graders, 9.1% of 5th graders, and 3.4% of 8th graders scored proficient in math, far below the Toledo City and Ohio averages. The school struggles across all grade levels and subject areas, with particularly low performance for male students, African American students, and economically disadvantaged students.

While Arlington Elementary spends around $11,000 per student, similar to other Toledo City elementary schools, it lags behind most of its peers, including Pickett Elementary, Walbridge Elementary, Burroughs Elementary, and Harvard Elementary, which have higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates. Addressing the root causes of Arlington Elementary's struggles will likely require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach.
