What Parents Should Know

At 131 students, Arlie Boggs Elementary School is on the smaller side. That usually buys more individual attention and teachers who know every kid by name, with the trade-off of fewer electives and extracurriculars than a larger school can staff. Ask what activities it actually offers.

Arlie Boggs Elementary School sits in a rural area, which can mean longer drives for some families. Rural schools are often community anchors with smaller classes, but check transportation, after-school options, and access to specialized services before you commit.

42% of students at Arlie Boggs Elementary School were chronically absent in the 2022-23 school year, above the national average.
