Summary

Arlington Local Elementary School is a K–5 school in Arlington, OH, serving 363 students as part of the Arlington Local district, and it has earned 4 stars every year in the available history while ranking 323rd of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools in 2025–2026 (79th percentile). The district is ranked 150th of 773 Ohio districts (81st percentile, 4 stars).

Academically, Arlington is above the state in every listed K–5 test: about 79.8% proficient on average versus roughly 63.8% statewide, with math especially strong at about 83.4% across grades 3–5 versus roughly 62.8% statewide. In 2025–2026, it had the highest nearby Math 3 (86.7%) and Math 4 (91.5%) proficiency rates, though 5th-grade math and science softened somewhat while remaining above state averages. ELA is also strong, but Liberty-Benton Elementary School outperforms Arlington in grades 3 and 4, and Hardin Northern Elementary School and Cory-Rawson Elementary School top it in grade 5. Overall, Arlington generally outperforms Wilson Vance Elementary School, Chamberlin Hill Elementary School, Riverdale Elementary School, and Vanlue Elementary School.

Chronic absenteeism is a standout: it fell from 18.7% in 2021–2022 to 3.7% in 2025–2026, below the Arlington Local district rate each year and much lower than Hardin Northern Elementary School’s 11.6% and most Findlay City schools. The student–teacher ratio was 16.1 in 2024–2025, lower than Liberty-Benton Elementary School’s 21.3, and per-pupil spending was $9,392 in 2018–2019, a dated but modest figure given the results. Subgroup rankings are generally solid—male students at the 83rd percentile and female at 77th in 2025–2026, and gifted at 88th in 2023–2024—though low-SES students fell from the 86th percentile in 2024–2025 to 67th in 2025–2026, a trend to watch. Free/reduced lunch data for Arlington is unavailable in the supplied data, and 3rd-grade ELA declined from 85.7% in 2024–2025 and 88.1% in 2023–2024 to 77.8% in 2025–2026, still well above state.
