Summary:
The city of Rosedale, Maryland has only one public elementary school, Red House Run Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 615 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a significant representation of African American, Hispanic, and Asian students. However, Red House Run Elementary has consistently underperformed academically compared to the Baltimore County Public Schools district and the state of Maryland, with proficiency rates in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science falling below the district and state averages.
Despite the school's relatively high spending per student of $14,527 and a student-teacher ratio of 15.2 to 1, Red House Run Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 556 out of 855 schools in 2022-2023 to 615 out of 859 schools in 2023-2024. The school's low academic performance is further compounded by the fact that 60.49% of its students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a socioeconomically disadvantaged community.
Overall, the analysis of Red House Run Elementary suggests that the school faces significant challenges in improving student outcomes and closing the achievement gap. The consistent underperformance, declining ranking, and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of the school and its community.
