District Mission

“The Arlington Central School District is committed to the success of each child in a safe, supportive, and stimulating learning environment.”
District Boundaries
The Arlington School District covers most of the towns of LaGrange, Pleasant Valley, Beekman, and Union Vale, as well as significant portions of the Town of Poughkeepsie and Hopewell Junction. We also serve small pockets of Hyde Park, Wappingers Falls, and Pawling. Only children residing within the district boundaries are eligible for enrollment in the Arlington School District. Because the district lines cross over into other towns, we strongly advise checking with the district to confirm your address before purchasing a home or enrolling your student.
