Folger Mckinsey Elementary

Summary:

Folger Mckinsey Elementary is a highly-regarded public elementary school in Severna Park, Maryland, serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade as part of the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district. The school consistently ranks among the top 5% of elementary schools in Maryland, boasting exceptional academic performance and a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Folger Mckinsey Elementary's academic excellence is evident in its consistently high proficiency rates in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science assessments, significantly outperforming the state and county averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 67.4% in Mathematics and 78.1% in ELA, compared to the state averages of 24.1% and 48.4%, respectively. The school's 5th-grade Science proficiency rate of 55.9% is also notably higher than the state average of 23.9%. However, the school's student population is predominantly white (84.91%) and has a relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (5.19%), suggesting a less diverse and more affluent student body compared to some nearby schools, such as Jacobsville Elementary and Pasadena Elementary, which have free and reduced-price lunch rates of 30.78% and 31.74%, respectively.

While Folger Mckinsey Elementary's academic performance is exceptional, the Severna Park area is home to a cluster of high-performing elementary schools, including Benfield Elementary, Oak Hill Elementary, and Jones Elementary, which also demonstrate strong academic results. This suggests that families in the area have multiple options for quality elementary education. As Folger Mckinsey Elementary continues to strive for excellence, addressing areas of diversity and equity may be an important consideration for the school and the district to ensure a well-rounded educational experience for all students.

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.
