Summary:
The city of Keymar, Maryland has only one school, New Midway/Woodsboro Elementary, which serves students in grades PK-5. This school appears to be a relatively high-performing institution, with proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts exceeding the averages for Frederick County Public Schools and the state of Maryland, particularly in the 3rd grade.
However, the school's academic performance declines in the upper elementary grades, with 5th grade proficiency rates falling below the district and state levels in Math, ELA, and Science. The school's racial demographics also skew heavily towards White students, with relatively low representation of other racial and ethnic groups. Additionally, while the school's per-student spending is relatively high, the student-teacher ratio is slightly higher than the recommended level, suggesting that resources may not be optimally allocated.
Despite these areas for potential improvement, New Midway/Woodsboro Elementary appears to be a strong-performing school overall, serving a population with a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's academic success, particularly in the lower grades, is a positive indicator for the Keymar community, but the district and school leaders may want to investigate ways to address the performance decline in the upper elementary grades and ensure equitable access and support for all students.
