Allegany County Public Schools

Summary:

The Allegany County Public Schools district in Maryland encompasses 22 schools, including 14 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, and 4 high schools. The district serves a diverse student population with varying socioeconomic backgrounds and academic performance levels.

Several schools stand out as top performers in the district, including Braddock Middle School, Mount Savage Middle School, Frost Elementary, Parkside Elementary, and Bel Air Elementary. These schools rank among the top in the state and have impressive test score proficiency rates, particularly in English Language Arts. In contrast, some schools, such as George's Creek Elementary and Mountain Ridge High School, struggle with lower academic performance.

The data reveals a strong correlation between socioeconomic status and student outcomes, with schools serving higher-poverty communities tending to have lower test scores and proficiency rates. This suggests that the district may need to focus on targeted interventions and resource allocation to support its lower-performing schools and help close the achievement gap. Additionally, the district could explore ways to replicate the success of its top-performing schools to raise the overall academic standards across the district.
