Summary:

Chesapeake Bay Middle stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently ranking in the top 30% of Maryland middle schools with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's students outperform the district and state averages on MCAP assessments, particularly in English Language Arts, where 58.1% of students were proficient or better, compared to 53.9% in the district and 48.4% statewide. Chesapeake Bay Middle also boasts a significantly higher Algebra I proficiency rate of 70.6%, well above the district and state averages.

While Chesapeake Bay Middle's overall performance is strong, the school faces some challenges. There are potential achievement gaps between different student subgroups, with the school's rankings for African American and special education students being lower than for White students. Additionally, the school's performance, while generally stronger than nearby schools like Corkran Middle and Marley Middle, is not as high as top-performing schools like Severna Park Middle and Severn River Middle. Continued focus on equity and learning from the best practices of neighboring schools could help Chesapeake Bay Middle maintain and improve its strong standing.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
