Yorkwood Elementary

Summary:

Yorkwood Elementary is a public elementary school in Baltimore, Maryland, serving 329 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 Maryland and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Yorkwood Elementary faces significant challenges compared to its peers. The school has a much higher percentage of African American students (over 93%) than nearby schools, and it consistently performs below the Baltimore City Public Schools and Maryland state averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 8.6% of Yorkwood students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 10.2% for Baltimore City and 24.1% for Maryland. The school has also consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Maryland elementary schools, with a ranking of 795 out of 859 schools in the 2023-2024 school year and a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's high per-student spending of $17,100 in the 2020-2021 school year, which is higher than the state average, Yorkwood Elementary has not shown significant improvement in its academic performance or school ranking over the past several years. Nearby charter schools like Tunbridge Public Charter School and City Neighbors Hamilton outperform Yorkwood in both Mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency, suggesting that additional resources alone may not be enough to drive meaningful change at Yorkwood Elementary.

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.
