Maree Garnett Farring Elementary/Middle

Summary:

Maree Garnett Farring Elementary/Middle is a public school in Baltimore, Maryland, serving 694 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.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $13,120 to $15,135 over the past three years, Maree Garnett Farring Elementary/Middle consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Maryland elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 698 and 816 out of 855-867 schools over the past decade. The school's performance on state assessments (MCAP) is significantly below the state and district averages in both mathematics and English language arts across all grade levels, particularly for its African American and low socioeconomic status student subgroups. This suggests that the school may not be effectively utilizing its resources to improve student learning.

The school's diverse student population, with a majority Hispanic (57.49%) and significant African American (23.2%) enrollment, highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of these student subgroups. Compared to nearby schools like Belle Grove Elementary and Park Elementary, which are part of the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district, Maree Garnett Farring Elementary/Middle's academic performance is significantly lower, underscoring the challenges the school faces in improving student 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.
