Summary

Amos Elementary is a PK-6 school in Arlington, TX, serving 323 students within the Arlington Independent School District (Isd), where about 88% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the school offers a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 12.4 to 1.

Amos Elementary stands out for its exceptional performance in 6th grade, where students consistently outperform both the district and state in Reading and Mathematics. In the most recent school year, 6th graders scored 66.67% proficient in Reading (compared to 47.85% district and 53.52% state) and 47.62% proficient in Math (compared to 38.15% district and 38.57% state). This upper-grade success is a unique strength not seen in nearby schools like Goodman Elementary, which serves a similar demographic but lags behind in 6th-grade Math (32.84% proficient). However, the school shows a clear split in performance: early grades (3rd and 4th) are a significant area of concern, with 3rd-grade Reading proficiency at just 22.22% and Math at 9.09% in the most recent year, suggesting foundational skills gaps that need attention.

Another bright spot is the school's strong outcomes for African American students, who ranked in the 74th percentile statewide in 2024-2025, a dramatic improvement from the 18th percentile two years prior. Yet, the school struggles with consistency for other subgroups, such as English Language Learners (8th percentile) and Special Education students, whose performance swung from the 79th to the 17th percentile in recent years. While Amos has a smaller student-to-teacher ratio than nearby Adams Elementary (14.6) and Johns Elementary (15.1), its overall state ranking has declined from a peak in the 66th percentile in 2018-2019 to the 27th percentile in the most recent data. The school's future success likely hinges on replicating the effective practices seen in the upper grades down to the lower grades and stabilizing support for its most vulnerable students.
