Wildwood Elementary/Middle

Summary:

Wildwood Elementary/Middle is a public school in Baltimore, Maryland, serving 793 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.

Wildwood Elementary/Middle consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Maryland elementary schools, with a proficiency rate of only 7.9% in mathematics and 19.5% in English language arts, significantly below the state and district averages. The school serves a predominantly African American (94.58%) and economically disadvantaged (84.24% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) student population. While the school spends more per student ($15,146) than the state average ($13,161), the academic outcomes have not shown substantial improvement, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to the school's performance.

Nearby schools in the Baltimore City Public Schools district, such as Baltimore International Academy West, Thomas Jefferson Elementary/Middle, and Belmont Elementary, also perform poorly on state assessments and have high percentages of students from low-income families. However, some nearby schools, like Empowerment Academy and North Bend Elementary/Middle, have slightly higher academic performance and better SchoolDigger rankings, suggesting that factors beyond just socioeconomic status may be contributing to the academic outcomes at these schools.

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.
