Frederick Elementary

Summary:

Frederick Elementary is a public charter school in Baltimore, Maryland, serving 393 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.

Frederick Elementary consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Maryland, with a statewide ranking between 798 and 857 out of 847 to 867 schools over the past decade. The school's performance on MCAP (Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program) tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 7.5% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in MCAP Mathematics, compared to 10.9% for the Baltimore City Public Schools district and 28.8% for the state of Maryland. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 84.2% to 91.69% over the past three school years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While Frederick Elementary is among the lowest-performing schools in the state, some of the nearby schools, such as Empowerment Academy and Violetville Elementary/Middle, have higher academic performance and statewide rankings, despite serving similar student populations. Additionally, Frederick Elementary has seen a significant decrease in its student-teacher ratio, from 17 students per teacher in 2022-2023 to 11.4 students per teacher in 2020-2021, suggesting that the school has been able to provide more individualized attention to students, but it has not resulted in improved academic outcomes.

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.
