SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,015 Indiana Elementary Schools

Better than 12% of Indiana elementary schools

Summary

Arlington Heights Elementary School is a PK–6 school on Bloomington's west side (700 W Parrish Rd) serving 301 students, making it the second-smallest enrollment among the comparable PK–6 schools and one of eleven elementaries in the Monroe County Community School Corp.

Arlington Heights ranks 898th of 1,015 Indiana schools for 2025-26 — the 12th percentile, 1 star — and is the only school in its comparison group with a 1-star rating this year. That caps a decade-long slide: in 2015-16 the school was at the 63rd percentile with 3 stars, a drop of roughly 51 percentile points. Just 14.38% of students were proficient in ELA, 17.69% in math, and 20.51% in science, the lowest of any nearby school and roughly 30 points below its own district average. About 70.43% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, the highest rate among peers, and 24.4% are chronically absent — about 7 points above the district and 8 above the state.

Resources don't explain the gap: class sizes are smaller than most neighbors (11.0 students per teacher) and per-pupil spending is mid-pack at $14,373. The clearest comparison is Fairview Elementary School, 1.3 miles away, with nearly identical poverty (68.12%) and the same district support. Fairview posts roughly 29–33 points higher in every subject with 17.1% chronic absenteeism, and has been improving. Highland Park Elementary School makes the same point. Math also collapses in the upper grades, with 5th- and 6th-grade proficiency in the single digits. Grade-level numbers rest on small cohorts, but the multi-year trends are consistent.
