Armistead Gardens Elementary/Middle

Summary:

Armistead Gardens Elementary/Middle is a public school in Baltimore, Maryland, serving 756 students in grades PK-8. The school is part of the Baltimore City Public Schools district, which is ranked 24th out of 25 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Armistead Gardens stands out for its significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (71.03%) compared to nearby schools, which have much lower Hispanic populations. Academically, the school consistently ranks in the bottom half of Maryland elementary schools, with performance on MCAP assessments below the Baltimore City and Maryland state averages across most grade levels and subject areas. The school has a high percentage of students (70.24%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite spending significantly more per student ($16,500) than the state average, Armistead Gardens' academic performance remains below par, suggesting that additional resources alone may not be sufficient to improve student outcomes.

Comparing Armistead Gardens to nearby schools, such as Sinclair Lane Elementary and The Belair-Edison School, which have predominantly African American student populations, highlights the importance of tailoring educational strategies to the specific context and characteristics of the student body. Armistead Gardens' performance also varies significantly by student subgroup, with Hispanic students outperforming their White peers on MCAP assessments, underscoring the need for targeted interventions to address the unique needs of the school's diverse student population.

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.
