Summary

Arlington Elementary School is a small K–6 school in Arlington, Indiana, serving 106 students as part of Rush County Schools, where it is the smallest school in the district.

Its 2025–26 results place it at the 43rd percentile among Indiana schools (579th of 1,015, 2 stars), with all-grade proficiency of 33.9% in ELA, 35.59% in math, and 43.75% in science. Those scores beat district averages in all three subjects and outpace the much larger Rushville Elementary School (25.58% ELA, 29.36% math, 29.14% science). Compared with nearby schools, science is the clear bright spot: 43.75% is similar to William F Loper Elementary School and above Milroy Elementary School, Coulston Elementary School, and Mays Community Academy. Math is the weakest area: 35.59% trails Milroy (55.95%), Waldron Elementary School (50.69%), and Eastern Hancock Elementary School (57.14%), while the area's top performers, Eastern Hancock and Brandywine Elementary School, score far higher in both ELA and math.

Grade-level results swing widely, which is common in a school this small — 3rd grade math (63.64%) and 6th grade ELA (53.33%) are strong, but 3rd grade ELA (18.18%) and 5th grade ELA (25%) are much lower, and 4th and 5th grade math fall below state benchmarks. Arlington also has the lowest student–teacher ratio (7) and the highest per-pupil spending ($15,216) in its comparison group, though that hasn't yet translated into top-tier achievement. Encouragingly, chronic absenteeism fell from 22.1% in 2021–22 to 14.2% in 2024–25 — below the state average, but still higher than most nearby schools, including Milroy and Waldron. The free/reduced lunch rate also declined, from 60.71% to 47.17%. Because enrollment is so small, one year's drop shouldn't be read as a lasting trend.
