Summary

Arlington Heights Elementary School is a public elementary school in Jacksonville, Florida, serving 253 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Duval School District, which is ranked 54 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past several years, Arlington Heights Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Florida elementary schools, with a ranking between 1500-2000 out of over 2,000 schools.

Arlington Heights Elementary faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 54.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school also consistently underperforms the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 29% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA and 34% of 5th graders proficient in Math, compared to 51% and 54% in the district, respectively. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 67.59% to 79.92%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When comparing Arlington Heights Elementary to nearby schools, some interesting patterns emerge. Bridgeprep Academy and Woodland Acres Elementary, both public charter and magnet schools, respectively, have similar low performance to Arlington Heights Elementary. In contrast, Arlington Elementary and Lake Lucina Elementary, both traditional public schools, perform significantly better than Arlington Heights Elementary. Despite the higher spending per student at Arlington Heights Elementary compared to the district average, the school's academic outcomes remain significantly below the district and state averages, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student performance at the school.
