Summary

McNutt Elementary in Arlington, TX, serves 675 students in grades PK-6 within the Arlington Independent School District (Isd), operating in a high-poverty area where over 83% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

McNutt’s standout strength is its consistent excellence in 4th-grade mathematics, where it has outperformed both the district and state averages for three consecutive years—a rare bright spot among nearby schools. For example, in the most recent data, 54% of McNutt’s 4th graders were proficient in math, compared to just 38% district-wide and 49% statewide. This success is not shared by most peers; only Blanton Elementary (54.8%) came close, while Williams Elementary (42.5%) and Atherton Elementary (46.8%) lagged behind. However, the school faces significant challenges in 5th-grade science, where only 13% of students were proficient in the latest year, a sharp decline from an already low 3% the year prior. Additionally, McNutt has the largest student-teacher ratio (14.8) among its immediate peers, compared to Hale Elementary (10.5) and Goodman Elementary (11.1), which may limit individualized attention.

Overall, McNutt is recovering from a deep academic low in 2020-2021 but remains below state averages in most subjects. Its 4th-grade math program is a key asset that could serve as a model for improvement in other areas. The school also shows mixed results with English Language Learners and Spanish-language assessments, with some standout performances but also notable inconsistencies. While poverty is a shared challenge among nearby schools—like Morton Elementary (92% poverty) and Amos Elementary (87% poverty)—outcomes vary widely, suggesting that school-level factors, such as McNutt’s math program, can make a tangible difference.
