Rippling Woods Elementary

Summary:

Rippling Woods Elementary is a public elementary school in Glen Burnie, Maryland, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district, which is ranked 10th out of 25 school districts in Maryland.

Rippling Woods Elementary faces significant academic challenges, with low proficiency rates, racial and gender disparities in performance, and a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. The school consistently ranks in the bottom half of Maryland elementary schools, with only 14.6% of students proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 27.6% in the district and 24.1% statewide. The school's performance in English Language Arts is slightly better, but still lags behind the district and state averages. Interestingly, the school spends more per student than the district and state averages, but this has not translated into improved academic outcomes.

When compared to nearby schools in the Anne Arundel County district, Rippling Woods Elementary generally performs worse on academic measures. For example, Shipley's Choice Elementary, located just 2 miles away, consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state and has significantly higher proficiency rates across all subject areas. This suggests that the challenges faced by Rippling Woods Elementary may be unique to the school and its specific student population, rather than a district-wide issue.

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.
