Summary

Rankin Elementary is a public elementary school in Arlington, Texas, serving 538 students in grades PK-6. As part of the Arlington Independent School District (ISD), Rankin Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in the state.

Rankin Elementary's student performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, the school's projected proficiency rates in reading and math for 2024-2025 are 30-40 percentage points lower than the state averages. The school's performance is particularly weak in science, with only 9.72% of 5th-grade students projected to be proficient or better, compared to 29.57% statewide. Rankin Elementary also struggles to effectively serve its diverse student population, with the school's rankings for various student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, English Language Learners, and Special Education students, mostly in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools.

While the nearby schools in the Arlington ISD also struggle academically, with most ranking in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, some schools, such as Adams Elementary and Atherton Elementary, perform significantly better than Rankin Elementary, suggesting that there may be opportunities for Rankin to learn from their practices. Addressing Rankin Elementary's challenges will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve the school's educational outcomes.
