Arlington has been a great school for my child to attend. He has loved all of his teachers and they communicate well with me. I also have had the opportunity to meet the principal and Asst. principal. They all seem to genuinely care about the kids and I have nothing but good things to say about this school!

My son transferred from perry township last year and he absolutely loves it at Arlington. The teachers made it easy for him to adjust and his grades skyrocketed immediately. Love it!!

Frustrating and unimpressive. Staff seems very focused on winning praise from other schools or officials and less focused on the children within their charge. Children are VERY quickly labeled by staff and those labels determine their entire approach to the child. Your child could be “difficult” and gets largely segregated and ignored, or “a liar” and gets pressured until they change their story and not believed on any instance. Often these labels get places within the first couple days of attending school and persist for years. Terrible way to approach and treat developing minds and personalities.

My son is now in second grade. He suffers from OCD tendencies, depression and anxiety, along with GERD. From the very first day in kindergarten he has been respected and his teachers work diligently with me to help him become a more confident child.

As a school that has received an "A" or "Exemplary" 3 years in a row, I am not sure how that equates to a "6". Come visit us and see how good we really are!

I have one child attending this school now and one who will soon be going there. Recently I had an experience where I spent the day at another elementary school. That experience opened my eyes to what a wonderful principal and teachers we have at Arlington. Mr. Henriott is an involved and caring principal. The staff is extremely friendly and caring. This school makes me feel welcome when I am there. My child has LOVED every teacher she has had. Arlington is a fantastic school!!

I have 3 children ranging in age from 8-17 that have all attended Arlington Elementary. The teachers and staff and principal truly care about the students and aren't just there awaiting their retirement. I am so proud to be a Patriot parent!!! We would love to move elsewhere in the township but will not do so until our youngest is out of Arlington because our children go to the best elementary school in Franklin Township!! Join the PTO and help this school continue to be AMAZING!!!

As the parent of 2 children who currently attend Arlington and 1 who attended K-4, I can honestly say this is a phenomenal school! The staff truly cares about each and every child's education. They strive to ensure each student reaches their full potential and has a successful school experience. In addition to receiving a quality education, my children are made to feel special and that their talents are important. A parent couldn't ask for a better school environment or more dedicated staff!

Lead by a Principal who sets the tone, this school is a place of inclusion, excellence, passion, and drive. He expects excellence from Teachers AND students. His staff is talented and passionate. After sending a daughter through Arlington, now we are Thrilled to have a son who started kindergarten this year. We are confident he will be set up for success just as our daughter was. Can't recommend this school highly enough. Jolene

Our daughter is a second grader at Arlington Elementary. We have been exceedingly impressed with the quality education she is receiving. The teachers go above and beyond to make sure that everyone is learning and reaching their full potential. The principal, Mr. Henriott, takes the time to know his students and support his staff. They go beyond the regular curriculum to create critical thinkers who are challenged to make the world a better place using the talents they have. We are thrilled by the education our daughter is receiving and enjoy being a part of the Arlington community. Our daughter loves going to school!

My daughter started kindergarten this year and I couldn't be happier with this school. Her teacher is incredible! She has been very understanding and patient, but has a real concern for academic learning at the same time. I trust that she is in good hands and her education is too... that is saying a lot!

Have 3 children in Arlington Elementary. The principle is a wonderfully dedicated man and the teachers are top notch. They have the best test scores out of all Indianapolis public schools. Truly an inspirational place for my children.
