Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $17,403 in the 2020-2021 school year, Baltimore Collegiate School for Boys consistently performs well below the state and district averages in academic proficiency. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 10% of students were proficient or better in MCAP/English Language Arts, compared to 48.4% statewide and 27.7% in the Baltimore City Public Schools district. The school's performance in mathematics is even more concerning, with 0% of students proficient or better in MCAP/Mathematics across all grades. This poor academic performance has resulted in the school ranking among the lowest-performing middle schools in Maryland, ranking 326th out of 328 middle schools in the state for the 2023-2024 school year.

When comparing Baltimore Collegiate School for Boys to nearby schools in the same district, the performance gap is significant.

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.
