Brock Bridge Elementary

Summary:

Brock Bridge Elementary is a public elementary school in Laurel, Maryland, serving 472 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district, which is ranked 10th out of 25 districts in Maryland and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Brock Bridge Elementary faces significant challenges, with a student population that is 47.46% Hispanic and only 5.72% White, well below the state averages. The school consistently ranks in the bottom half of Maryland elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, and its test scores are significantly lower than the county and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 12.9% of Brock Bridge students were proficient or better in MCAP Mathematics, compared to 27.6% in Anne Arundel County and 24.1% statewide. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 66.11% to 76.06% over the past few years, indicating a high concentration of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When comparing Brock Bridge Elementary to nearby schools, such as Monarch Global Academy PCS Laurel Campus, which is just 0.24 miles away, it becomes clear that Brock Bridge is underperforming across nearly all academic metrics, including test scores and proficiency rates. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and the need for targeted interventions to address the specific needs of its student population.

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.
