ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL

Arlington High is a Title I public high school that is part of the Indianapolis Public Schools school district, located in Indianapolis, IN with about 769 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. Student demographics can be found below. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 94 teachers, Arlington High has a student/teacher ratio of about 8:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Arlington High School, located at 4825 N Arlington Ave in Indianapolis, has a long and complex history within the Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS) district. Historically serving the northeast side of the city, the school has undergone significant administrative shifts over the last decade in efforts to address academic performance and structural challenges. Following a period of state intervention and a transition to a "restart" model under charter management, the facility has played a pivotal role in the district’s broader strategy to stabilize education options for students in the Arlington Woods and surrounding neighborhoods.

Today, the site is recognized for its role in the **IPS Innovation Network**, a model designed to provide greater autonomy to schools while maintaining their connection to the public school system. The campus serves as a centralized hub for students in the area, focusing on college and career readiness through various academic programs. By operating as an innovation school, Arlington aims to foster a more tailored educational environment that addresses the specific social and academic needs of its diverse student body while working to improve long-term graduation rates and student outcomes.
