Summary:
The city of Mitchellville, Maryland is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 alternative school. The schools in this area serve a predominantly African American student population, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic challenges.
Among the standout schools in Mitchellville is Kingsford Elementary, which has the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts across all grades compared to the other schools and the Prince George's County Public Schools and Maryland averages. Kingsford Elementary also had strong performance in Mathematics, with proficiency rates above the district and state averages. In contrast, Ernest Everett Just Middle School had lower proficiency rates than the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.
The alternative school, C. Elizabeth Rieg, stands out with its much lower student-teacher ratio and significantly higher spending per student, reflecting the specialized nature and additional resources required for the alternative school program. Overall, the data reveals significant disparities in academic performance between the schools, suggesting that factors beyond just student demographics, such as school leadership, teaching quality, and resource allocation, may be contributing to the differences in student outcomes.
