Lake Shore Elementary ranks 282 nd of 859 Maryland elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Lake Shore Elementary is a public elementary school in Pasadena, Maryland, serving 333 students in grades PK-5. It 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.

Lake Shore Elementary consistently outperforms the Anne Arundel County and Maryland state averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency across all grade levels. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's overall Mathematics proficiency rate was 38.7%, compared to 27.6% for Anne Arundel County and 24.1% for Maryland. In the same year, its overall English Language Arts proficiency rate was 57.7%, compared to 53.9% for Anne Arundel County and 48.4% for Maryland. Additionally, Lake Shore Elementary has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (24.32% in 2022-2023), indicating a lower proportion of students from low-income families compared to some nearby schools like High Point Elementary and Riviera Beach Elementary.

However, Lake Shore Elementary's student population is predominantly white (86.49%), which is in contrast to the more racially diverse student populations of the nearby schools. This may suggest the need to further explore the factors contributing to this demographic difference and consider ways to promote greater diversity and inclusion. The proximity of these nearby schools, which are also part of the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district, presents an opportunity for collaboration and the sharing of best practices to improve educational outcomes across the district.

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.
