Overview of School Readiness

From 2008-2018, an average of 87% of Arlington students entered kindergarten with pre-K experience.

Rates of pre-K enrollment were approximately 10% lower for students with limited English proficiency or disadvantaged economic status, but 4% higher for students with disabilities.

Since 2008, the percentage of children passing the PALS-K kindergarten readiness assessment has ranged from 90-96%. However, the passage rate for students who did not attend formalized child care was 76% in 2016.

3rd grade SOL Proficiency varies significantly across demographics, with lower proficiency rates for students who are Black, Hispanic, English Language Learners, Economically Disadvantaged, and Students with Disabilities.

The percentage of K-3 students held back has declined slightly from 2008 to 2018.

Known Child Care Utilization Methodology


o Not all licensed child care slots are utilized at any given time, due to factors such as:▪ Provider staffing levels may limit the number of children who can be enrolled.▪ Infants and children with higher levels of need may require more support.▪ Seasonal factors may affect enrollment.

o There is no single data source for utilization of child care slots in Arlington.o The following three slides contain rough utilization estimates for child care

providers licensed by the Department of Human Services (DHS). They are based on point-in-time enrollment and attendance data recorded by DHS staff at their bi-annual inspection visits.

o Religious and public schools are exempt from these visits, and are therefore not included in the utilization data that follows.
