Seven Oaks Elementary

Q: Is Seven Oaks Elementary a good school?

Seven Oaks Elementary ranks 556 th of 859 Maryland elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Seven Oaks Elementary is a public elementary school in Odenton, Maryland, serving 508 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district.

While Seven Oaks Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (69.49%) compared to nearby schools, it consistently underperforms the county and state averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 47.9% to 52.95% over the past three years. Despite increased per-student spending, Seven Oaks Elementary has been ranked in the bottom half of Maryland elementary schools, consistently rated 2 or 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Interestingly, within the school, the African American students and students of low socioeconomic status perform relatively well compared to their peers statewide. However, the nearby schools, such as Pershing Hill Elementary, Waugh Chapel Elementary, and Manor View Elementary, generally outperform Seven Oaks Elementary in both test scores and SchoolDigger rankings, potentially indicating that the school faces unique challenges that require targeted interventions and additional resources.

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.

This school is terrible. My children were constantly bullied while enrolled. Even though I had met with the principal on multiple occasions, the bullying continued and my 1st grader was assaulted by a fellow class mate. Please do not send your children to this school. They are not safe. Close Quote

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.
