Best Public Schools in Cecilton, MD

Summary:

The city of Cecilton, Maryland has only one school, Cecilton Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and has a total enrollment of 281 students. The school is part of the Cecil County Public Schools district, which is ranked 15 out of 25 in Maryland and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cecilton Elementary has consistently struggled with academic performance, with proficiency rates in mathematics, English Language Arts, and science that are lower than the district and state averages. The school's overall ranking has remained in the bottom half of Maryland elementary schools over the past three years, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests that the school may face challenges in providing quality education to its students, particularly given the high percentage (62.99%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a population from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.4 and high spending per student of $16,069, the academic performance data indicates that these resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific needs of the student population. The school's struggles highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and ensure that all students in Cecilton have access to a high-quality education.
