Summary

Key Elementary is a public elementary school in Arlington, Texas, serving 401 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Arlington Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 660 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Key Elementary faces several challenges, including a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (81.8%) and generally below-average academic performance on STAAR tests compared to the district and state. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past 10 years, from 1,120th to its current ranking of 3,697th out of over 4,600 Texas elementary schools. Within the school, there are significant disparities in student group performance, with Asian students performing at a high level while African American, White, English Language Learners, and students with disabilities struggle to meet state averages.

When compared to nearby schools, Key Elementary generally performs worse academically. For example, Corey Fine Arts / Dual Language Academy, a school within the same district, consistently outperforms Key Elementary across all grade levels and subject areas, ranking in the top 15% of Texas elementary schools. To address these challenges, the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions, focus on equity and support for underperforming groups, and explore best practices from higher-performing nearby schools.
