Arcadians take pride in their well-established traditions and high standards.  The Arcadia Unified School District is one of the most highly thought of in the State.  On standardized tests, Arcadia students consistently score well above state and national averages. In one recent survey, Arcadia High School ranked in the top 4% in the nation.  City medical services are available locally; and an excellent assortment of recreation and leisure activities are offered for all ages.  The City government is "full-service" with its own Police Department, Fire Department and Library, and a City Council-City Manager form of government.

Arcadia has a broad commercial base with businesses ranging from the very small to the very large.  Arcadia’s numerous amenities include parks, hiking, backpacking, golf, excellent shopping and dining, and top-notch accommodations. Outdoor enthusiasts have easy access to the San Gabriel Valley, the San Gabriel Mountains, breathtaking beaches and majestic deserts. The Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden, located in Arcadia, provides visitors with 127 spectacular acres of specialty gardens and historic buildings. Santa Anita Race Track is probably the finest thoroughbred racing facility in the country, and perhaps in the world. The California Philharmonic’s Festival on the Green is presented at the Arboretum on 10 Saturday nights every summer; and every summer the city provides free concerts at City Hall.
