Marley Elementary

Summary:

Marley Elementary is a public elementary school located in Glen Burnie, Maryland, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 756. 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.

Marley Elementary faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, with its diverse student population and high percentage of low-socioeconomic status (SES) students not translating to strong educational outcomes. The school consistently ranks in the bottom half of Maryland elementary schools, with proficiency rates in MCAP Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science that are significantly lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's African American and White student subgroups rank in the bottom half of Maryland elementary schools, while the Hispanic student subgroup ranks in the top quarter. The low-SES student subgroup at Marley Elementary ranks in the bottom 10% of Maryland elementary schools.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Pasadena Elementary and Oakwood Elementary, have higher academic performance and better student outcomes, despite serving similar or more diverse student populations. This suggests that factors beyond just student demographics, such as school leadership, teaching quality, and resource allocation, may play a crucial role in driving academic success. To address these challenges, Marley Elementary will need to implement targeted interventions and support services to improve student learning outcomes, particularly for its low-SES and underperforming subgroups.

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.

Open Quote I have a special needs child who attended this school between 2013-2016. They withheld services that he was entitled to from him for YEARS! My son was physically assaulted on numerous occasions, and they did absolutely nothing to protect him. The administration resorted to blaming the altercations on "missed social cues" despite videos showing otherwise. The administration is clearly incompetent. Avoid this school at all costs.

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.
