Summary

Little Elementary is a mid-sized neighborhood school in the Arlington Independent School District (Isd), serving 740 students from Pre-K through 6th grade, and it consistently outperforms the district average in nearly every subject and grade level.

This school is a standout for its exceptional support of English Language Learners (ELL), ranking in the 88th percentile statewide for this group—a strength not seen in nearby schools like Dunn Elementary or Key Elementary. While it holds a solid 3-star rating, it sits in a "middle ground" compared to top-performing magnet schools like Corey Fine Arts / Dual Language Academy, which has a lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students. Little Elementary achieves strong results without selective admissions, making it a reliable option for families. However, its performance with low socio-economic status (SES) students has been inconsistent, jumping from the 51st to the 74th percentile and back, and it struggles with Special Education and At-Risk students, which pulls down its overall rank.

Interestingly, the school shows a surge in upper elementary grades, with 5th-grade Reading at 67.35% and Math at 56.12%—well above the district averages. Science remains a weakness, though it still doubles the district average. Historically a 4-star school before the pandemic, Little Elementary has stabilized in the 63-65th percentile range. To regain its former glory, it needs to make its success with disadvantaged students more consistent and improve outcomes for Special Education and At-Risk populations. For now, it remains a solid, high-performing neighborhood school, especially attractive for families with English Language Learners.
