Summary

Arcadia Elementary is a public school serving about 455 students in grades 3 through 5 in the Deer Park School District, consistently earning an average state rating while performing at or slightly above state averages in core subjects despite over half of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

The school shows notable strengths in mathematics, where student proficiency exceeds both district and state averages, and has a history of strong academic results for students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, though this area has seen a recent decline. A significant and urgent challenge is the consistently low performance of students receiving special education services. Compared to nearby schools like those in the higher-spending Mead School District (such as Colbert Elementary School or Midway Elementary), Arcadia achieves solid outcomes with fewer resources per student, while outperforming other schools with similar student demographics, such as Loon Lake Elementary School.

Within its own district, Deer Park Elementary (grades K-2) has a lower student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending, suggesting a strategic focus on early grades. Arcadia's performance has remained stable over time, unlike some neighboring schools that experience more volatility. Key areas for improvement include addressing the special education gap, investigating the dip in fifth-grade math scores, and reversing the recent slide in performance among low-income students.
