Lillie May Carroll Jackson School

Summary:

Lillie May Carroll Jackson School is a public charter middle school serving 221 students in grades 5-8 in Baltimore, Maryland, a district that ranks 24th out of 25 in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The student body is predominantly African American, making up 97.74% of the population.

Lillie May Carroll Jackson School consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Maryland middle schools, with academic performance significantly below the Baltimore City and Maryland averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 6.3% of 5th-grade students and 8.6% of 8th-grade students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 10.9% and 7% for Baltimore City and Maryland, respectively. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as female students and African American students, is also among the lowest in the state. Despite relatively high spending per student and improved student-teacher ratios, the school has not seen a corresponding improvement in academic outcomes.

The challenges faced by Lillie May Carroll Jackson School are not unique, as many of the nearby schools in the Baltimore City Public Schools district, such as Katherine Johnson Global Academy, Vanguard Collegiate Middle, Booker T. Washington Middle, and The Crossroads School, also struggle with low academic performance and rank in the bottom 20% of Maryland middle schools. However, The Crossroads School stands out as a relatively higher-performing school, suggesting that the charter school model may be a potential avenue for improving academic outcomes in the area.

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.
