Patterson Park Public Charter School

Summary:

Patterson Park Public Charter School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Baltimore, Maryland, with a diverse student population of 39.34% African American, 43.6% Hispanic, and 14.58% White students.

While the school spends significantly more per student ($17,759 in 2020-2021) compared to the state average, its academic performance consistently ranks in the bottom half of Maryland elementary schools, with only 9.3% of students proficient or better in MCAP Mathematics and 36.8% in MCAP English Language Arts in the 2023-2024 school year. This is significantly below the state and district averages. The school's performance also varies greatly across different student subgroups, with White students performing relatively well but Hispanic and low-income students ranking in the bottom 25% of Maryland elementary schools.

Interestingly, the nearby Wolfe Street Academy and Hampstead Hill Academy, both public charter schools serving similar student populations, significantly outperform Patterson Park Public Charter School on academic measures. For example, Hampstead Hill Academy had 46.6% of students proficient or better in MCAP Mathematics and 68.6% in MCAP English Language Arts, far exceeding the state and district averages. This suggests that the additional resources at Patterson Park Public Charter School may not be effectively targeted towards improving classroom instruction and support.

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.
