North Glen Elementary

Summary:

North Glen Elementary is a public elementary school in Glen Burnie, Maryland, serving 298 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.

Despite its diverse student population, with higher percentages of African American and Hispanic students compared to nearby schools, North Glen Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Maryland elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in MCAP Mathematics and English Language Arts are significantly lower than the county and state averages across all grade levels. This trend has been declining over the years, with the school's statewide ranking dropping from 379 out of 867 Maryland elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 728 out of 859 in 2023-2024. The school's performance is particularly low for Hispanic and White student subgroups, ranking in the bottom quarter of Maryland elementary schools in these categories.

Despite spending more per student ($17,581 in 2020-2021) compared to the nearby schools, such as Monarch Academy, Linthicum Elementary, and Point Pleasant Elementary, this higher funding does not translate to better academic outcomes. The nearby schools generally outperform North Glen Elementary in academic proficiency, despite serving similar student populations. This suggests that North Glen Elementary may benefit from learning from the successful practices of its higher-performing counterparts and addressing the unique needs of its diverse student community to improve student outcomes.

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.
