Park Elementary

Summary:

Park Elementary is a public elementary school in Baltimore, Maryland, serving 507 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.

Park Elementary faces significant challenges, including a diverse student population with a higher percentage of Hispanic students (37.67%) compared to nearby schools like Monarch Academy (37.3%) and Overlook Elementary (41.88%). The school's academic performance, as measured by MCAP test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in MCAP Science, where only 9.8% of 5th-grade students are proficient or better, compared to 28.8% in the district and 23.9% statewide. Additionally, Park Elementary's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking 322 out of 504 Maryland elementary schools for African American students, 222 out of 347 for Hispanic students, but only 511 out of 528 for White students.

Compared to nearby schools, Park Elementary generally underperforms academically, with Monarch Academy, a public charter school within the same district, outperforming Park Elementary in both MCAP Mathematics and English Language Arts across all grade levels. Park Elementary's statewide ranking has also declined over the past several years, from 414 out of 859 Maryland elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 535 out of 859 in 2023-2024, with a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $15,502 to $16,671 over the past three school years, this higher spending does not appear to translate into improved academic 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.
