Summary:

The school has a predominantly African American student population, with 89.37% of students identifying as African American. Dickey Hill 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.

Dickey Hill Elementary/Middle consistently ranks in the bottom 25% of Maryland elementary schools, with a ranking between 635-787 out of 855-862 schools over the past several years. The school's performance on MCAP tests is significantly below the state and district averages, with only 8.2% of Dickey Hill students proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 24.1% statewide and 10.2% in Baltimore City Public Schools. Dickey Hill's performance is particularly low for African American students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Maryland elementary schools for these subgroups. Additionally, 78.35% of Dickey Hill students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the state and district averages.

The challenges faced by Dickey Hill Elementary/Middle are not unique, as nearby schools in the Baltimore City Public Schools district, such as Wildwood Elementary/Middle, Hilton Elementary, and Thomas Jefferson Elementary/Middle, also perform poorly on academic measures and serve predominantly African American and economically disadvantaged student populations. This suggests that systemic issues within the district may be contributing to the low performance of Dickey Hill Elementary/Middle and similar schools, and addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive and collaborative approach.

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.
