George T. Cromwell Elementary

Summary:

George T. Cromwell Elementary is a public elementary school in Glen Burnie, Maryland, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district, which is ranked 10th out of 25 districts in the state.

While the school has a diverse student population with a higher percentage of Hispanic students compared to nearby schools, it has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Maryland elementary schools over the past 10 years. George T. Cromwell Elementary's performance on the MCAP (Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program) tests is below the county and state averages, particularly in mathematics. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 59.46% to 64.17% over the past three school years, significantly higher than the nearby schools like Brooklyn Park Elementary and Oakwood Elementary.

Despite the higher per-student spending at George T. Cromwell Elementary, ranging from $14,866 to $17,718 over the past three school years, the school's academic performance remains below the county and state averages. This raises questions about the efficient and effective use of resources to support student learning and achievement. The school's declining performance on the MCAP tests and the varying performance among different student subgroups suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to improve overall student outcomes.

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.
