The Green School of Baltimore

Q: Is The Green School of Baltimore a good school?

The Green School of Baltimore ranks 295 th of 859 Maryland elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

The Green School of Baltimore is a public charter elementary school serving 162 students in grades K-8 in Baltimore, Maryland, which is part of the Baltimore City Public Schools district, ranked 24th out of 25 districts in the state with a 0-star rating.

The Green School of Baltimore stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, particularly in mathematics and English language arts, where it outperforms the Baltimore City Public Schools district and the state of Maryland. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 40.7% of all students at The Green School were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to just 10.2% for the district and 24.1% for the state. The school also performs well for specific student subgroups, ranking highly in the state for female, male, African American, and low socioeconomic status students. This success is notable given the school's diverse student population, with a balanced racial makeup in contrast to the predominantly African American student bodies of many nearby schools.

Despite spending significantly more per student than some nearby schools, such as Sinclair Lane Elementary and Lakewood Elementary, The Green School of Baltimore's academic achievements suggest that its success is not solely dependent on socioeconomic factors. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.7 to 18 over the past three school years, may also contribute to its ability to provide individualized attention and support to its diverse student population.

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.

I felt so fortunate to have my grandson enrolled in the Green School. I withdraw him from Catholic School when he was accepted. Green School is very much like the private schools my children and grandson have attended. You could not ask for a better environment, caring staff, and total engagement from the administrators and parents. He went camping, they often had outside activities at a nearby park and their own facility, the kids were involved with setting up their curriculum, gardening, camaraderie among fellow students was practiced as well as responsibility. It was an excellent experience. Close Quote

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.
