Furman Templeton Preparatory Academy

Summary:

Furman Templeton Preparatory Academy is an elementary public charter school in Baltimore, Maryland, serving 393 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 the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Furman Templeton has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (96.44%) compared to the state and district averages, and consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Maryland elementary schools, with a 0-1 star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years. The school's proficiency rates in MCAP/Mathematics and MCAP/English Language Arts are significantly lower than the Baltimore City Public Schools and Maryland state averages across all grade levels. Additionally, Furman Templeton has a very high percentage of students (over 90%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($20,507 in 2020-2021) compared to the state and district averages, Furman Templeton's academic performance remains poor. The nearby schools in the same district, such as Harlem Park Elementary/Middle, Sandtown-Winchester Achievement Academy, and Dorothy I. Height Elementary, also perform poorly, with similarly low proficiency rates and SchoolDigger rankings, suggesting that the challenges faced by Furman Templeton are not unique and may be systemic within 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.
