Fort Worthington Elementary/Middle

Summary:

Fort Worthington Elementary/Middle is a public school in Baltimore, Maryland, serving 693 students in grades K-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.

Fort Worthington consistently ranks among the lowest-performing schools in Maryland, with a statewide ranking between 810-851 out of 859 elementary schools over the past decade. The school's student population is predominantly African American, ranging from 81.67% to 89.13% over the past three years, and a very high percentage of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 80.06% to 83.41%. Despite spending significantly more per student ($15,836 in 2020-2021) compared to the state and district averages, the school's academic performance on the MCAP tests remains significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The student-teacher ratio at Fort Worthington is also relatively high, ranging from 15.4 to 15.8 over the past three school years.

Nearby schools, such as Elmer A. Henderson: A Johns Hopkins Partnership, Tench Tilghman Elementary/Middle, and Commodore John Rodgers Elementary/Middle, also serve predominantly African American and low-income student populations, but they generally perform better academically than Fort Worthington. This suggests that there may be successful strategies or approaches being implemented at these schools that could potentially be replicated at Fort Worthington to address the persistent educational inequities in the Baltimore City Public Schools district.

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.
