Green Street Academy

Summary:

Green Street Academy is a public charter high school serving grades 6-12 in Baltimore, Maryland, with a student population of 854 that is predominantly African American (95.08%).

Despite spending a relatively high $17,316 per student, Green Street Academy consistently underperforms the Baltimore City Public Schools district and the state of Maryland in standardized test scores. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 5.3% of 7th-grade students at Green Street Academy were proficient or better in MCAP/Mathematics, compared to 7.9% for the district and 15.3% for the state. The school has a low statewide ranking, placing 147th out of 225 Maryland high schools in 2021-2022 and receiving a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. This poor performance has been a persistent issue, with the school ranking 138th out of 138 Maryland high schools in 2018-2019 and receiving a 0-star rating.

When compared to nearby schools in the Baltimore City Public Schools district, such as Carver Vocational-Technical High, Vivien T. Thomas Medical Arts Academy, and Augusta Fells Savage Institute of Visual Arts, Green Street Academy's struggles become even more apparent, as these schools have higher test scores and better statewide rankings despite serving similar student populations. This underscores the need for comprehensive, systemic reforms to address the root causes of the district's underperformance and ensure that all students, regardless of their socioeconomic background, have access to a high-quality education.

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.
