Summary

Arno Elementary School in Allen Park, MI, is a public school serving 513 students in grades PK-5 as part of the highly-rated Allen Park Public Schools district. The school has earned a 4-star rating and ranks in the 85th percentile statewide, a remarkable achievement given that over half of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

What truly sets Arno apart is its exceptional academic performance compared to neighboring schools. While nearby schools in the Lincoln Park School District of the City of, Taylor School District, and Dearborn Heights School District #7 often report proficiency rates between 10% and 40%, Arno's English Language Arts proficiency rates range from 61% to 67.5%. The school also dramatically outperforms its own district siblings—Lindemann Elementary School and Bennie Elementary School—suggesting that Arno's success comes from school-specific strengths in leadership, teaching, and culture. Perhaps most impressive is Arno's success with specific student groups: its Hispanic students rank in the 98th percentile statewide, and its low-income students rank in the 91st percentile, proving the school effectively closes achievement gaps.

Arno also stands out for its strong attendance culture, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 14.9%—far below the state average of 27.9% and dramatically lower than neighbors like Taylor Parks Elementary School at 46.6%. The school's trajectory is equally noteworthy: it has climbed from the 42nd percentile in 2020-2021 to its current top-tier ranking. Arno achieves these results while spending $15,396 per student—comparable to its district peers but significantly less than lower-performing schools like Hoover School ($30,683) and Blair Moody Elementary School ($23,355). One area worth watching is a recent dip in performance for special education students, which fell to the 47th percentile after two strong years—a trend the school may want to investigate.
