Summary:
ZIP code 46104 is home to a single elementary school — Arlington Elementary School, a K–6 school in Arlington, Indiana serving 106 students as part of Rush County Schools.

Academically, the school compares well with its district. In both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, it outperformed the district in all reported all-grade ILEARN subjects. Science is the most consistent strength: all-grades Science was 43.75% in 2025–2026 versus 32.93% in the district, and 4th grade Science (47.06%) topped both the district (40.34%) and the state (43.8%). However, the most recent year shows clear softening. All-grade ELA fell from 50% to 33.9% and Math from 48.61% to 35.59%, while Science held nearly steady (45.24% to 43.75%). The state ranking also slipped from the 68th percentile and 3 stars in 2024–2025 to the 43rd percentile and 2 stars in 2025–2026 — now matching the district's own 43rd percentile.
Grade-level results are uneven. In 2025–2026, 3rd grade Math (63.64%) and 6th grade ELA (53.33%) were standout pockets, both well above district and state. Fifth grade was the weak spot across ELA (25%), Math (18.75%), and Social Studies (37.5%), and 3rd grade ELA was low at 18.18%. Fifth-grade Social Studies also reversed, dropping from 42.86% in 2024–2025 (above the state's 38.5%) to below the state's 47.2%. On the positive side, chronic absenteeism was 14.2%, better than the district (14.3%) and the state (16.7%). Context: 47.17% free/reduced lunch eligibility, a 7:1 student-teacher ratio, and $15,216 per-student spending in 2023–2024.
