Linthicum Elementary

Q: Is Linthicum Elementary a good school?

Linthicum Elementary ranks 326 th of 859 Maryland elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Linthicum Elementary is a public elementary school in Linthicum, Maryland, serving 459 students in grades PK-5. 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.

Linthicum Elementary consistently outperforms the Anne Arundel County and Maryland state averages in Mathematics, English Language Arts (ELA), and Science proficiency across all grade levels. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's overall Mathematics proficiency rate was 28%, compared to 27.6% for Anne Arundel County and 24.1% for Maryland. Its ELA proficiency rate was 59%, significantly higher than the 53.9% for the county and 48.4% for the state. Linthicum Elementary also has a relatively low percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 38.13% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, compared to nearby schools like Belle Grove Elementary (87.78%) and Park Elementary (87.77%), which have much higher percentages of low-income students.

Despite its relatively low percentage of students from low-income families, Linthicum Elementary's low-income students perform exceptionally well, ranking 34th out of 546 Maryland elementary schools in this subgroup for the 2020-2021 school year. However, the school's student population is less racially diverse compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of White students. This raises questions about the school's efforts to promote diversity, inclusion, and representation within the student body. The performance gap between Linthicum Elementary and the surrounding schools presents an opportunity for collaboration and the sharing of best practices to improve academic outcomes across the region.

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.
