Best Public Schools in Worton, MD

Summary:

The city of Worton, Maryland has only one high school, Kent County High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance is mixed, with strengths in English Language Arts but struggles in math. While the school spends more per student and has a favorable student-teacher ratio, its statewide ranking has declined in recent years, dropping from 3 out of 5 stars in 2021-2022 to just 1 out of 5 stars in the most recent 2023-2024 school year.

Academically, Kent County High School performs better than the state average in MCAP/English Language Arts, with proficiency rates of 58.1% for 10th grade and all grades, compared to the state averages of 55.3% and 48.4%, respectively. However, the school's proficiency rates in MCAP/Algebra II (7%) and MCAP/Geometry (6.3%) are significantly lower than the state averages of 24% and 21.9%, indicating a need to focus on improving math instruction and outcomes.

The school serves a socioeconomically disadvantaged population, with 53.67% of students receiving free and reduced-price lunch. Despite this, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11:1, which suggests a potentially favorable learning environment. However, the school's declining statewide ranking and the uneven academic performance across subject areas suggest that the Kent County Public Schools district may need to implement strategies to support the success of Kent County High School and its students.
