Stadium School

Summary:

Stadium School is a public middle school in Baltimore, Maryland, serving 339 students in grades 6-8. The school has a predominantly African American student population, with 95.58% of students identifying as African American.

Stadium School consistently performs significantly below state and district averages in standardized test scores. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 13.3% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 48.4% statewide and 27.7% in the Baltimore City Public Schools district. The school's performance in Mathematics and Science is also very low, with only 5.5% of 8th-grade students proficient or better in Science. Stadium School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Maryland middle schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in the state.

When comparing Stadium School to nearby schools, such as Lillie May Carroll Jackson School and The Crossroads School, it is clear that Stadium School is significantly underperforming academically, despite serving similar student populations. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (84.37%) and the relatively high student-teacher ratio (18.3 students per teacher) may be contributing factors to the school's low performance, which has remained consistently low over the past several years.

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.
