Mary Ann Winterling Elementary at Bentalou

Summary:

Mary Ann Winterling Elementary at Bentalou is a public elementary school in Baltimore, Maryland, serving 320 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Baltimore City Public Schools district, which is ranked 24th out of 25 districts in Maryland and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mary Ann Winterling Elementary faces significant challenges, with a highly homogeneous student population of 98.12% African American students, consistently low academic performance on MCAP tests (only 8.6% of students were proficient or better in MCAP Mathematics, compared to 10.2% for the district and 24.1% for the state), and a ranking in the bottom 10% of Maryland elementary schools. The school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 89.69% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and a relatively high per-student spending of $22,885 in the 2020-2021 school year.

Nearby schools, such as Billie Holiday Elementary, Frederick Elementary, and Franklin Square Elementary/Middle, also have low academic performance and rankings, indicating a broader challenge in the local education system. While Mary Ann Winterling Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16, this does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving educational opportunities in this area.

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.
