Pimlico Elementary/Middle

Summary:

Pimlico Elementary/Middle is a public charter school in Baltimore, Maryland, serving 741 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.

Pimlico Elementary/Middle stands out for several key reasons. It has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (83.54%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 46.01% to 95.81% African American. Academically, the school consistently ranks among the lowest-performing in Maryland, with a statewide ranking between 800-855 out of 853-862 elementary schools over the past decade. Its performance on MCAP assessments is significantly below the Baltimore City Public Schools and Maryland state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, Pimlico has an extremely high percentage of students (83.94%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

While Pimlico Elementary/Middle spends significantly more per student ($16,395) than many of the surrounding schools, which range from $12,562 to $19,825 per student, it has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 21.1 in 2022-2023, compared to the nearby Roland Park Elementary/Middle and Medfield Heights Elementary, which have ratios of 12.3 and 19.5, respectively. This raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources within the school, as its persistent low performance suggests that the challenges faced by Pimlico Elementary/Middle 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.
