Summary:

Hazelwood Elementary/Middle is a public school in Baltimore, Maryland, serving 526 students in grades PK-8. 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. Hazelwood has a predominantly African American student population, with 88.4% of students identifying as such in the 2022-2023 school year.

Hazelwood Elementary/Middle consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Maryland elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 723-813 out of 855-867 schools over the past decade. The school's performance on MCAP tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 7.4% of Hazelwood students proficient or better in MCAP Mathematics, compared to 24.1% statewide and 10.2% in the Baltimore City district. Hazelwood also has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 71.74% to 80.61% over the past three school years, significantly higher than the state and district averages.

When comparing Hazelwood Elementary/Middle to nearby schools, such as Hamilton Elementary/Middle, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming relative to its peers. Additionally, the racial makeup of Hazelwood is similar to many nearby schools, suggesting that factors beyond just racial composition may be contributing to the school's poor academic outcomes. Despite the relatively high per-student spending at Hazelwood, the school's academic performance remains significantly below state and district averages, raising questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources.

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.
