Arlington Elementary School has consistently maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years, ranking among the top 50-120 elementary schools in Nebraska. The school consistently outperforms the state average in proficiency rates for English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels.

However, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 4.4% in 2020-2021 to 19.3% in 2024-2025, which is an area the school may need to address to maintain its high academic standards.
