Mayo Elementary

Q: Is Mayo Elementary a good school?

Mayo Elementary ranks 130 th of 859 Maryland elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Mayo Elementary is a public elementary school located in Edgewater, Maryland, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 345. 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.

Mayo Elementary consistently ranks among the top 20% of Maryland elementary schools, with students performing significantly better than the district and state averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) assessments. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 54% of Mayo students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 27.6% for the district and 24.1% for the state. The school's Hispanic students also rank 6th out of 347 Maryland elementary schools in ELA, indicating exceptional performance for this subgroup. However, Mayo Elementary has a relatively homogeneous student population, with a majority (over 80%) of White students, in contrast to many of the nearby schools, such as Annapolis Elementary and Walter S. Mills - Parole Elementary, which have more diverse student bodies.

Another key differentiator for Mayo Elementary is its low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 10.09% to 12.17% over the past three school years, significantly lower than the nearby schools, which have much higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students. While Mayo Elementary's per-student spending is higher than the state average, it is lower than some of the nearby schools, such as Germantown Elementary and Eastport Elementary. This raises questions about the relationship between funding and academic outcomes, and whether the school is able to achieve its high performance with relatively lower per-student spending.

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.
