Summary

McNutt Elementary is a public elementary school in Arlington, Texas, serving 638 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Arlington Independent School District (ISD). The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools over the past several years, with a low overall SchoolDigger rating ranging from 0 to 2 stars out of 5.

One key factor that differentiates McNutt Elementary is its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 83.33% to 87.3% over the past few years. This is significantly higher than the district average, indicating a high concentration of economically disadvantaged students. Additionally, the school consistently underperforms the district and state averages on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates in reading and math projected to be 10-20 percentage points lower than the district and state in 2024-2025. The school's rankings for various student subgroups, such as female, male, Asian, African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, are also consistently in the bottom half or bottom third of Texas elementary schools.

Interestingly, several of the nearby schools, such as Williams Elementary, Atherton Elementary, Blanton Elementary, and Morton Elementary, also have low statewide rankings and academic performance similar to McNutt Elementary, suggesting that the challenges faced by the school may be reflective of broader issues within the local community or the Arlington ISD.
