Corkran Middle School

Summary:

Corkran Middle School is a public middle school in Glen Burnie, Maryland, serving 644 students in grades 6-8. It is part of the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district, which is ranked 10th out of 25 districts in Maryland.

Despite its diverse student population, Corkran Middle School consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages in standardized test scores. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in MCAP Mathematics (9%) and MCAP English Language Arts (30.4%) were significantly lower than the district (27.6% and 53.9%) and state (24.1% and 48.4%) averages. This trend has persisted over the past few years, and Corkran's overall ranking places it among the lower-performing middle schools in Maryland. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 67.55% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

When compared to nearby schools within the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district, such as Arundel Middle and Severna Park Middle, Corkran Middle School's performance is significantly lower. These schools have higher proficiency rates in MCAP Mathematics and English Language Arts, as well as higher overall school rankings. Despite Corkran's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.4 students per teacher, the increased funding of $16,677 per student has not translated into improved academic outcomes for the school.

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.
