An overview of Arnold public schools
The federal directory lists 10 public schools in Arnold, MO: 6 elementary, 2 middle, 1 high, 1 combined or other.

The largest campus is Fox Sr. High (1,660 students), and the largest elementary school is Richard Simpson Elem. (410).

Across schools that reported staffing, the median student–teacher ratio is 11.1:1, lower than the statewide school median of 12.3:1. A ratio counts classroom-teacher FTE against total enrollment, so specialized programs and part-time staffing can move it; ask schools for actual class sizes by grade.
About 37% of students in reporting schools were eligible for free or reduced-price meals in 2024–25. This describes the community served; it is not a quality signal, and community-eligibility schools can report differently.
