Violetville Elementary/Middle

Summary:

Violetville Elementary/Middle is a public school in Baltimore, Maryland, serving 351 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.

Violetville's student population is more diverse than nearby schools, with a higher percentage of White (20.23%) and Hispanic (18.23%) students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by MCAP test scores, is generally lower than the state and district averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 8.8% of Violetville students were proficient or better in MCAP Mathematics, compared to 24.1% statewide and 10.2% in Baltimore City Public Schools. Violetville has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Maryland elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade. The school's performance is particularly low for African American students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Violetville's academic challenges are not unique, as it underperforms compared to nearby schools, such as Lansdowne Elementary in the Baltimore County Public Schools district. Despite higher per-student spending than the state average, Violetville's performance suggests that funding alone may not be the primary driver of the school's challenges. The combination of a diverse student population, high rates of economic disadvantage, and consistently low academic performance suggests that Violetville may face complex challenges related to student socioeconomic status, access to resources, and other community-level factors that impact educational outcomes.

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.
