Summary

Ditto Elementary is a PK-6 school in the Arlington Independent School District (Isd) serving 734 students in Arlington, TX, and has historically been a high-performing school that has seen a gradual decline from its elite status over the past decade. Once ranked in the top 6% of Texas elementary schools, Ditto now holds a 4-star rating (72nd percentile) for the 2025-2026 school year, yet it continues to significantly outperform the district average in nearly every subject and grade level. For example, 71.68% of 6th graders were proficient in Reading compared to just 47.85% district-wide, and 53.1% were proficient in Math versus 38.15% district-wide, a gap wider than at most nearby schools.

Ditto stands out for its exceptional performance with English Language Learners (ELL), ranking in the 85th percentile statewide for serving this subgroup—a remarkable achievement that has been consistent for three years. The school also shows strong upper-grade performance, with 5th and 6th grade scores often being the highest, unlike nearby Little Elementary where 6th-grade Math proficiency was its lowest. Additionally, Ditto has demonstrated a dramatic turnaround for Special Education students, jumping from the 30th percentile (1 star) in 2023-2024 to the 62nd percentile (3 stars) in 2025-2026. However, 5th-grade Science scores remain a relative weakness, with only 40.83% proficient in 2024-2025, though still well above the district and state averages.

Ditto’s performance is particularly impressive given the competitive landscape, as it is surrounded by magnet and charter schools like Corey Fine Arts / Dual Language Academy (89th percentile) and Arlington Classics Academy -Intermediate (74th percentile), which likely attract high-achieving students from its attendance zone. The school serves a relatively low-poverty population (38.69% free/reduced lunch) compared to neighbors like Key Elementary (81.84%) and Dunn Elementary (70.22%), which rank in the bottom 15-25% of the state. Despite its decline from elite status, Ditto remains a strong, reliable choice for families seeking consistent academic excellence within the Arlington ISD.
