Northeast Middle

Summary:

Northeast Middle is a public middle school located in Pasadena, Maryland, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 882. 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.

While Northeast Middle has a higher percentage of White students (64.97%) compared to the surrounding schools, its academic performance, as measured by MCAP test scores, is generally lower than the Anne Arundel County and Maryland state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (12.1%) and English Language Arts (36.3%) are significantly below the county and state averages. Additionally, Northeast Middle has a relatively high percentage of students (48.64% in 2022-2023) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from lower-income families compared to some of the nearby schools.

When comparing Northeast Middle to the surrounding schools, it becomes evident that the school's academic performance lags behind many of its neighbors. For instance, Magothy River Middle and Severna Park Middle, which are both within a 5-mile radius, consistently outperform Northeast Middle on MCAP tests and have higher statewide rankings. Despite the increased per-student spending at Northeast Middle, from $13,111 in 2018-2019 to $14,265 in 2020-2021, the school's academic outcomes have not seen significant improvement.

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.
