Commodore John Rodgers Elementary/Middle

Summary:

Commodore John Rodgers Elementary/Middle is a public school in Baltimore, Maryland that serves 855 students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. 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.

Commodore John Rodgers consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Maryland elementary schools, with a ranking between 599-747 out of 802-859 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on MCAP (Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program) tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in Math. For example, in 2023-2024, only 15.1% of students were proficient or better in Math, compared to 24.1% statewide and 10.2% in Baltimore City. The school's student-teacher ratio of 13.5 is slightly lower than the district average, which may indicate a greater level of individual attention for students.

The nearby schools, such as Elmer A. Henderson: A Johns Hopkins Partnership, City Springs Elementary/Middle, and Hampstead Hill Academy, also struggle academically, with most ranking in the bottom quartile of Maryland elementary schools. However, Hampstead Hill Academy stands out as a relative high performer, ranking in the top 25% of Maryland elementary schools and outperforming Commodore John Rodgers and the district on MCAP tests. The high percentage of students from low-income families at Commodore John Rodgers, as well as the surrounding schools, raises concerns about educational equity and the challenges faced by students from disadvantaged backgrounds.

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.
