Additional Culture Details
Situated in Arlington, Tennessee and just 30 miles from downtown Memphis, Arlington Community Schools is home to four campuses, including two elementary schools, one middle school and one high school. As the school district of choice for nearly 4,500 Pre-K through 12th grade students, ACS has become an academic destination for many families thanks to our dedicated staff, strong academic record, modern facilities, technology-forward vision and vast extra-curricular offerings beyond the classroom. In ACS, we’re prioritizing STEAM Learning (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Mathematics) with two STEAM Designated Schools, two Apple Distinguished Schools and STEM for All in Grades Pre-K through 12. We care about developing students for their future, not our present, which is why we continue to expand college-level credit opportunities and career and technical programs to meet our students’ needs. ACS is proud to be among the Best Communities for Music Education and the #1 Certified Top Workplace® in the Memphis-Metro region as voted by our employees for three consecutive years.
