Somerset County Public Schools

Summary:

The Somerset County Public Schools district in Maryland consists of 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 23 out of 25 in the state and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges.

However, one school stands out as a high-performing outlier - Deal Island School. This small elementary school with only 96 students significantly outperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests, with 53.3% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 44.4% in math, compared to just 30.4% and 9.8% for the district, respectively. In contrast, Washington Academy and High School has seen its performance decline, with only 15.7% of 8th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, well below the state average of 46.2%.

The data also reveals a strong correlation between poverty and academic achievement, with the schools with the highest free and reduced lunch rates, such as Greenwood Elementary and Princess Anne Elementary, also having the lowest proficiency rates on standardized tests. This suggests that addressing the challenges of poverty in the district could be a key factor in improving overall academic performance.
