Summary:
Arlington Local is a small Ohio district with just two schools serving 612 students: Arlington Local Elementary School, which covers grades K–5 with 363 students, and Arlington Local High School, which covers grades 6–12 with 249 students. The Arlington Local district ranks 150th of 773 Ohio districts, putting it in the 81st percentile with 4 stars, and both schools earned 4 stars individually.
Both schools score well above state averages. In 2025–2026, elementary test results averaged about 79.8%, roughly 16 points above the state average, with math the strongest subject at 83.4% versus 62.8% statewide. Standouts there include 4th grade math at 91.5% and 4th grade ELA at 83.1%. The high school averaged about 74.7%, roughly 15 points above state, led by English II at 87.0%, 8th grade math at 84.9%, and 8th grade science at 83.3%. The only reported 2025–2026 result below the state level was the high school's 8th grade ELA at 57.1% versus 58.3%.
The biggest difference between the two schools is attendance. Chronic absenteeism is 3.7% at the elementary school — less than half the district's 7.1% — but 10.7% at the high school, nearly three times the elementary rate and above the district average. The high school also reports a 97.4% graduation rate, a student-teacher ratio of 11.3 compared with 16.1 at the elementary school, and $10,292 per-student spending versus $9,392 (2018–2019 data, so dated), with 62.25% of high school students qualifying for free/reduced lunch while the elementary figure is unknown. Both schools' rank percentiles slipped from their 2024–2025 peaks — the elementary school from 84 to 79, the high school from 82 to 74 — but each remains a 4-star school. Note that grade reporting shifted between years, so some year-over-year comparisons are not reliable.
